Had quote this again just because it's hilarious when people just talk about things as if they know what they're talking about.
7.7GB tethered straigtht from my EVOLTE in a week's time.
Soft cap my ass.
you have to excuse me i've been with Sprint since 2001 to now and at one point they had a soft cap. apparently they got rid of it but Sprints unlimited data is still dicey they say its unlimited but they say if you "abuse" it they reserve the right to terminate your services. what "abuse" they determine but i know for a fact the data hotspot has a hard cap of 5GBs. i don't use excessive amounts of data on my cell phone because its a tell tell sign you're tethering.
its like all you can eat. they say all you can eat but if you eat every single piece of food in the restaurant well... i use data on my actual phone excessively. i leave streams running on it all day in the car when i'm not even using it and at the most i push 4GBs.
i'm willing to bet if you push 5TB of data usage a month for a year straight before that year is out you'd get a phone call from Sprint so likely its not "truly unlimited" as they say they only say unlimited because it's a cell phone if you don't have a hot spot play how much data could you possibly use on it?
