July is the month the folks over at Sprint have implemented Bandwidth Caps on their wireless data plans. Over the past 6 months I have averaged between 4 & 9 gigs of usage. So for the first time ever I have had to change the way I used the Internet.
This really pisses me off in a big way. It’s the sign of the times really. But because they have decided to go down this road why not offer me a way to pay for a higher level of service. Come on Sprint I have been a faithful user of the service for three years and I need more bandwidth.
I cannot afford to be cut off from the world when I hit my 5GB limit. That would anger me even more and if I get canceled or they block my access because I break their 5gb cap then I am going to expect to be compensated for lost business etc..
A company just cannot start our offering a service with no published cap then change horses mid-stream and implement a policy that is ridiculous in the first place.
As a side note my mom lives in a rural area with only dial up. But Sprint does have Rev A EVDO service in her area. She was going to switch to Sprint for her Internet service but with a 5Gb cap in place we have had to rethink that. Once again a company thinking way to small is hurt by stupid decisions.
