LTE plan pricing?

[boomhower]

Has there been any release of what the plan pricing is going to be for these new phones? I have been a Sprint user for years mainly due to cost but since they have implemented this damn 4G fee they are right on par with Verizon for me and my wife. If they don't raise the price or implement a rediculously low data cap I think I'll dump them.

Even with the $10 extra they're still cheaper than all the other big names for what you get.

You get more minutes but when combined we use 400 does it really matter. VZW's 700 minute plan with text/data comes out the same.

Minutes aren't relevant any more, especially when it comes to LTE. Its data you'll be looking for.

Exactly, that was my point.

If it's the $10 4G surcharge that bugs you, I'd be pretty shocked if Verizon didn't do the same thing. Plus the promised data caps... best-case IMO is throttling to 3G after, worst case is no more unlimited.

The $10 fee wouldn't bother me nearly as much if I actually got 4G service or if Sprint offered a high end phone without 4G. I'm being strong armed into paying for something I don't want just to get a good phone. Yeah, it's making me bitter.

I fully expect to have data caps, what the cap is matters most. Sprint will have to have a cap at some point. I can hit 5GB's but have to do it intentionally. If I take 30 seconds to downloads podcasts and such at the house I can get by on 2GB's pretty easily. If they stick the cap at 3GB's I'll be good. Yeah, that's not much if you want to stream a bunch of video but for surfing and audio it's fine.
