Earlier in 2011, AT&T revoked their unlimited plan, instead replacing it with a montly data cap due to high usage. Before Verizon had posession of the iPhone, AT&T's flagship device was Apple's iPhone, leading to a majority of AT&T customers to only use AT&T for said phone.
When Verizon introduced the iPhone on its list of devices back in February 2011, customers were promised their unlimited plans, but following AT&T's suit, went back on their word and four months after the iPhone 4, unlimited data was cut from yet another carrier. See a pattern going?
Sprint has already began capping their unlimited Hotspot data (this really shouldn't affect too many people, sorry if you do) in preparation for the iPhone 5; Sprint, in a kind of a low move, also raised its early termination fees from 200$ to a quite ridiculous 350$, AND also discontiued its Sprint Premier program.
When the total bill for your monthly plan exceeds 169$, you qualifiy for a special "thank you" from Sprint, which my family's plan qualifies for. One of the benefits of this service is being able to get your hands on a new phone before it officially launches; for example, the EVO 3D's release date was June 24th; I was able to purchase the phone on June 21st and recieved in on June 23rd, a full day before its release.
Sprint, like Verizon before, promised its customers continuation of its unlimited plan, of which Sprint is the only provider of. Unfortunately, Sprint's network is not quite as strong as Verizon's network, and subsequently will not be able to hold the stress of thousands of iPhone users, along with other smartphone users, straining the network.
STOP BUYING SO MANY iPHONES, YOU'RE RUINING MY UNLIMITED.
