I normaly use 40-50GB of data every month and Sprint has yet to say anything to me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21501783 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:16:29 EDT Re: $40 a month for 455MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21501540 Maggs : 5GB is too low, that's 166.67MB a day for a 30 day month. $40 plus 21% tax for wireless service brings the MRC to $48.40 a month approx.

That's a total ripoff. Wireless data is useless with the insane latency.
Hmm, have you even used EV-DO or 3G? I game and use VoIP just fine on my Sprint EV-DO connection. Ping times as low as ~60ms to the first hop and ~80-90ms to google. Thats not bad at all, and not far behind DSL that is not useing FAST PATH. And on top of that, download speeds of ~2.5Mbps most of the day.
But can't you only use 5GB of bandwidth before you start to get hit with insane overcharges?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500734 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 12:37:19 EDT Re: $40 a month for 455MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500733 battleop : Name "Plenty" of applications. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500733 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 12:37:11 EDT Re: $40 a month for 455MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500684 nnaarrnn : my sprint EVDO rev A card is the only way I can game at home.

BBR's speedtest database shows good transfer speeds. The 3G EVDO numbers would be clustered at the top:

And unless you are gaming, the latency is irrelevant and has been improving with the 3G rollouts.
Umm, no its not. There are plenty of everyday applications which can be sensitive to latency especially once it goes past about 120ms.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500552 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:44:58 EDT Re: $40 a month for 455MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21500464 TKJunkMail :

The caps are generally 5 GB/mo and not 455 MB/mo. The 455 is the expected monthly average.
