I expected this once they got the iPhone. It would have been great for marketing if they had really offered unlimited data, but terrible for the network. I think the unlimited tier is just not sustainable. Fair enough.
What is outrageous about this is their overage pricing. $.05 per MB? Are they insane? ATT, regarded as some of the most ruthless bastards in the industry, charge $10 per GB- priced at the same rate as what is included in the plan, in 1 GB increments. Sprint needs to change this ASAP. They just went from having a huge competitive advantage with unlimited data to possibly the worst data plan available.
