Unfortunately, your statement that's it's Sprint's fault is inaccurate for several reasons. Let me explain.

First, the beauty of America is having the freedom of choice. And part of that "freedom" of choice is freely choosing when and who we enter into contractual agreements with. In other words, this country allows us to freely choose who we contract with of our own choosing. No one forces us to enter into a contractual relationship with anyone. And all of us here, who freely signed up for service with Sprint (either knowingly or unknowingly, depending on whether or not you bothered to read the fine print), agreed to be bound by Sprint's 'Terms and Conditions'. And if we bothered READING the fine print in our service contracts we FREELY AGREED TO BE BOUND BY by accepting Sprint's service, the service contract expressly states, in part:

"Prohibited Network Uses. To ensure the activities of some users do not impair the ability of our customers to have access to reliable services provided at reasonable costs, you may not use our services in a manner that ... harms or unduly interferes with the use of Sprint’s network or systems."

And if we bothered reading further, the terms and conditions also state that:

"Sprint reserves the right, without notice or limitation, to ... terminate, end, modify, disconnect, or suspend service if an individual engages in any of the prohibited voice or data uses detailed below or if Sprint, in its sole discretion, determines action is necessary to protect its wireless networks from harm or degradation ... Examples of prohibited data uses: Sprint data services are provided solely for purposes of web surfing, sending and receiving email, photographs and other similar messaging activities, and the non-continuous streaming of videos, downloading of files or on line gaming. Our data services may not be used: (i) to generate excessive amounts of Internet traffic through the continuous, unattended streaming, downloading or uploading of videos or other files ... or (vi) for any other reason that, in our sole discretion violates our policy of providing service for individual use."

For purposes of clarity, I've been frequently told by Sprint representatives that UNLIMITED does not mean UNREASONABLE.

So, going to your original point in which you state, "If your connection is slow, guess who's fault is it? I'll give you a few seconds to think....." Well, in actuality, maybe YOU need more than a FEW SECONDS to think, considering that it's you sir, who is making an inaccurate statement.

Finally, the one thing that is also great about the FREEDOM OF CHOICE is that you and the OP are free to leave Sprint at the conclusion of your agreement with them. And if you think you'll get better service or prices with AT&T or Verizon, I'm sure those two carriers will be more than happy to take your money. Considering that Sprint's terms and conditions clearly state that Sprint's intent in terminating service to those few subscribers who do violate their agreement with Sprint is to "ensure the activities of some users do not impair the ability of our customers to have access to reliable services provided at reasonable costs", you better get your facts straight before making any more misinformed and inaccurate statements. Because if and when Sprint does end providing unlimited data service to the rest of us, we can thank subscribers like you, the OP and his wife, who think they are entitled to breach their agreement with Sprint by abusing their services. For the rest of us subscribers who still desire to pay affordable subscription rates, you would probably do us all a favor by leaving.
