Unlimited internet

Hi all,

I noticed something on my recent visit to Canada. T-Mobile piggybacks on Bell. But--it uses a T-Mobile IP address. That means that when in Canada I have access to the USA Netflix!

I have been in 3G only area without any additional charges. The data is unlimited but the speeds appear not to be.

I agree. Especially seeing this is at 4g speeds.

Even at 3g speeds it's possible to download well over 100gb a month. Half a terrabyte would seem reasonable here and well beyond any wholesale agreement done with VZ. Don't see how it can last without throttling.

In the link in the OP's original post, it says that the unlimited is for 4g connections. We ran into an issue with Sprint's "unlimited" internet when we were being charged extra every month. It seems that the "unlimited" applied to 4g but not to 3g.

I see those speeds on FreedomPop and RingPlus that both use Sprint. I asked never because I do know what speeds Sprint is capable of and if you never went higher, it does sound like it is throttled. AT&T is capable of wicked high speeds too but my Cricket never goes over 8 Mbps because it is throttled.

Band does play a big part as well as device and signal. You should be able to get to the mifi's management page by typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 into the adress bar while connected. There you should find a status page that will tell you signal strength and band. I can switch between 3G and LTE but the device chooses what of the three LTE bands it wants to use.

You have NEVER seen better than 6 Mbps?

A lot has to do with which of the three Sprint LTE bands you are on but band 41 hits the mid 30s in Denver at 3 pm and 50's at night. It really only takes a few Mbps to give a comfortable feel to most things besides large downloads.

Correct. NEVER. I am not in Denver and I have no idea what band the MiFi is assigned to, how to find out which or how to change the band. Are you on the Unlimitedville plan as well and seeing those kinds of speeds?

Yup, it's all BS for sure. Terrible that we work hard for our money just so we can give to those who hold us hostage cause we need to have that part of our lives.....But they knew that when they invented it so you have to pay to play. No biggie if $$ is not a question

Oh I know of the Sprint thread, just not that they have the others yet.
