I have heard (read) that Sprint will be releasing the iPhone 4, the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S2 with unlimited data plans. Am I the only person that thinks this will completely destroy their data service? Their service in where I live has gone from okay, to bad, and then to horrible in the past year and a half. Sometimes it's completely unusable.
On the otherhand, it's unlimited slow data.

probably will since anyone who wants unthrottled unlimited data will go to sprint. verizon and at&t want it that way too

sprint's management fault for this for running the company into the ground

Yea but this will also mean Sprint will hopefully get a income boost so they can invest in their network

its already been unlimited for a long time..
no issues here.. and the EVO is very popular phone as is the EVO 3D and Shift and the Nexus S all On Sprint. all great phones..

with the G2S coming out on Friday a ton of Evo Users are going to go to it.. I dont forsee a issue with Sprint going to get the Iphone..

but who knows maybe it will force Sprint to move into the LTE market they have been talking about for so long.

there is no way they will be able to keep up. AT&T spends billions every year on their network and back in 2009 they couldn't keep up with demand

That's because they are grossly incompetent. Trust me on this one.

Care to share details? I've read that at the time the iPhone shared just as much blame. Crappy Infineon chipset and bugs in ios that bombarded cell towers with useless traffic

In the past, I always liked Sprint's network but didn't care for their phone selection. Once they started picking up with the Evo (got one at launch), I was a pretty happy camper aside from some quirks I didn't like with Android as a whole. But in the past six months to a year, their network has gone to crud in my area. I didn't notice it much since I was using a hacked PRL to get on Verizon's network at my girlfriend's house, but now that I've switched back to a stock Sprint PRL I'm lucky to hit above 200kbps, but often hover around 100kbps or less speeds on 3G.

If they manage to beef up their capacity with new income I'm all for it, but I'm kinda dreading an iPhone 4/5 release here since my speeds keep getting slower and slower. I was still planning on keeping Sprint for a slightly cheaper plan and higher data caps, but if I can't get actually use the network then it's no good

For those wondering, per a conversation I had with that rep in the nastygram call, Sprint seems like they might start enforcing their 5GB soft cap as they do their 300MB roaming cap. Basically, go over 5GB in network for 3+ months and they can cancel your contract. Now, I dunno how often they're going to actually enforce that seeing as how it took them many months and gigs of data to realize I was roaming on Verizon all the time, but it's something to think about for those of you who might exceed that 5GB limit.

This is interesting considering they're heavily pushing "unlimited" data plans again in their latest commercials with no mention of caps (unless it's in some illegible fine print).

I don't think they are going to get the massive influx they are betting on. Most sales are going to be upgrades. After spending several years on Sprint and the last few months on Verizon I really think I'd take 2GB's of usable speed over unlimited data that is frustrating to use because it is so slow. Sprints management has run them into the ground.
