Right now, everybody is capped in some way, with max downloads, fee for use, or limited bandwidth. I have Clearwire, which charges its monthly fee based on how much guaranteed bandwidth the customer wants. The faster the connection speed, the higher the bill. Sprint <strong>is </strong> capping you...on connection speed. Sprint wireless cards max out at 600kbps-1.4 mbps, and only upload at 350-500 kbps, which is a good bit lower than the 2.0 mbps cable companies offer. You're paying less for a slower speed.
