Proof that you used it.
Not proof that you weren't pirating files or torrenting or doing excessive roaming usage.
All of which are valid reasons for Sprint to ban you from their service.
At either rate, take it to the sprint forums.

You know what, you are the exact type of person that completely disgusts me.
You take advantage of companies that are doing the right thing and are giving us the benefit of the doubt that we can be intelligent, responsible adults and have self control.
Sprint doesn't give us unlimited data so some jerk can compensate for his manhood issues by getting that usage number as high as possible and then boast about the abuse on the internet.
They do it so we can use our phones as intended without the need to second guess our usage.
You are quite literally ruining it for everyone.
As far as I'm concerned the carriers should create lists for people like you and ban you from ANY service with ANY of them.
I sincerely hope that you ARE downloading pirated files and you are taken to court over the matter.
Grow up.

I like how people blame this one dude for their slow internet speeds or possibly the disappearance of unlimited data. How many people do you really think use this much data? Not enough to force Sprint to change their data plans.
Sprint will change their data plans because they need the money, not because 5 people are using 100gigs a month. Call Sprint and talk to a rep about all their changes, the answer I always get is their aligning themselves with the other carriers so the only think they have left is tiered data.
Sprint loses money every qtr so they figure Verizon and AT&T must be doing something right. So let's raise our ETF fee to $350, get rid of the the premier program, raise the admin fee, remove discounts from any lines over 2nd, then remove discounts from the 2nd line as well. Do you really think Sprint will keep unlimited data for long? Do you think when they change it it will be because a few people use an obsessive amount of data?
Seriously, if you want to blame anyone, blame the idiots who made the iPhone what it is today. All these changes started to come when everyone knew the iPhone was coming to Sprint.
Sure the OP is a jerk and just posts these things to get a rise out of everyone, but I don't know why people let it get to them. You guys should really go to the iPhone section and yell at those dudes for all your wonderful changes.

I personally don't have a problem with someone who wants to test the limits of what "Unlimited Data" means. Hey, it's his right to give it a shot the same way it's SPRINT's call to give him the boot if they think he is abusing their service.
In terms of the little beef with the self appointed SUPERMOD Matty: bringing someone's dead relative into a dumb argument over using Sprint's data is going too far. You could have come up with a less personal come back than that man. Just my $.02
I think we're done here. Would be nice if the intellect and maturity level would go up - but maybe I am asking too much.

I'm not trying to be negative but all the information is out there. It just takes a little time to read what you are actually signing and agreeing to before just blinding putting your signature down and giving out your info.
Even though they say it is unlimited, it is still technically true. You can still eat as much data as you can, but after you go over the subscribed plan, you get throttled. Yea, the speeds suck, but technically you can still 'use data'. This is actually not an uncommon practice for major ISPs looking get a few more bucks in forcing heavier users to upgrade. This is no different.
That is true but that does not mean it's right. You are basically giving companys the o.k to use clever wording in ads and not live up to there word.

Not quite. When it has become an industry standard to do, you basically have no alternatives. Sprint? I guess that is one 'exception' but with everyone migrating to them it clogs them up just the same with an different type of throttling that is caused by other users instead of the company itself.
No one told them it is ok to define 'unlimited' for us, but when they all took the same stance, it's hard to shop around and pick someone that doesn't because when you find someone that doesn't throttle, they'll probably have even worse service than you would get from t-mobile.

Just wondering, when does advertising or politics not deploy this tactic? Their goal is to sell you something rather to make you want to buy it. They don't need our OK to do this. It would be more surprising if they didn't do this actually. Right and wrong really don't usually have much impact on marketing as long as there is the slightest bit of truth imbedded in the statement. We don't have "4g" either much less "bottomless unlimited 4g" we have an allotment. Not trying to be argumentative just pointing out a realistic perspective on how things are marketed to us.

This is what happens when people abuse the system. Yeah I agree being throttled sucks but when u get service you agree to that. No need to complain about it later. In the end everyone's prices go up. I'm actually kinda happy they patched it up. If u want more data, pay for it.
I'm not sticking up for T-Mobile. All I'm saying is that we as customers agree to the terms they set forth which includes throttling after going above allotted data.

more than 10gb is abusing the system if you only have 2gb plan. To get to 20gb you must do a whole lot of video streaming. If streaming Netflix all day is not abusing the system , what is?

Probably people abusing the system and tethering to save some money.
I regularly pull 50gigs/week on a hardline connection, but that's what it's for. I don't try that kind of crap on a wireless data plan. Plus my speeds are a whole lot more consistent.

I think he post just for fun nothing to do with proud thing
Cause I use more data than he does and not even one month.two more weeks left
I was pretty surprised that I've used close to amount (last I checked a few days ago, 50GB). No tethering no Torrenting. But it seems that the Gallery likes to use nearly 2GB of data in the background every time I set up a new ROM or Reflash. That plus all the Roms and re downloading of apps from the Store. And more recently, the purchase of a couple HD movies and a hand full of re downloads of the Avengers movie.
77Gb on HSPA+? Come to my area Whole brooklyn gets like 0-0.20Mbit, Loading Netflix or Youtube is virtually impossible here. Called T-mobile they said they're fixing tower, well 4 Months and still fixing it? Good thing I have pre-paid I can cancel any time

Who lied? Have you gone back and disputed this? If it was done at the store Customer service can't do much as there's no proof to what you're claiming is true so the best option is to go back to store and vice versa. Airave does help if you qualify for one. Check www.sprint.com/airavecoverage. For your discount you have to apply through www.sprint.com/verify but nothing anyone can do in regards to the % the company you're claiming offers.

At first they said excessive roaming, but that was bs because I never leave home. So they investigated further and said it was due to "tethering without a tethering plan." No warning, nothing. I woke up and was shut off this morning. I love downloading full albums and movies. I suppose I could have challenged them for having "unlimited data" but screw it. I'll get a Nexus 4 off contract w/Tmo unlimited 70 bucks a month.

It was probably roaming while they are doing NV upgrades. If it was really for tethering you wouldn't have gotten out etf free. They would have either opted for you to add tethering or would have just added it to your next bill. What tethering app were u using?

Technically they can't tell you were tethering unless you were using the sprint hotspot. They can *claim* you were cuz of desktop protocols, but just tell em your browser on your phone is set to desktop user agent which uses the same protocols as your desktop browser. Most likely you were roaming due to the upgrades going on and whatever carrier you roamed on claimed you were tethering. At least you didn't have to pay the etf.

Android to android is even more incognito than android to windows/linux/mac, but the more advanced phone browsers and apps become the harder it is to tell the difference between mobile and desktop data packets. I would say in the next 5 years all internet capable devices will be using almost identical protocols to access the web which means all data would look the same to anyone sniffing packets. I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited tethering plan on my work line and I use upwards of 100GBs a month on it for work and I tether my personal line (same account) to my tablet and laptop and have been for 3 years and sprint never says anything.

Just a quick ?, OP have you looked at your usage on sprint.com to see your roaming usage?? Just wondering if Sprint is about to crack down on tethering or if it was roaming which we all know they crack down on. Thanks for any info....and I wouldnt sell for less than $300 BTW but depends how quick you need the cash, think about the fact no one can get an android able to run jb on sprint for under $450 from retail.
I talked to Sprint on the phone a little bit ago about my service and bill (it was $30 over) and the rep told me I have been going over on my data roaming, no kidding considering my phone stays on roam (Sprint service not my doing). He tells me on Monday I need to call their roaming compliance team to figure out what to do about it. So is this it? An I getting the boot from my contact? I don't really know how the issue can be "fixed". And I'm not changing my usage habits, I only use around 2gbs a month so it's not like I'm hogging the data or anything.

Chances are they will offer you a airwave.

It seems like I remember reading somewhere that the air waves require Wi-Fi or some other internet connection. I don't have internet connection. I hope it's something simple.

Yea they require a broadband connection.

Yeah that's not going to be an option then. Well it looks like I'll be paying more for service here in the near future. I'm surprised that they do this out of the blue like this. The rep mentioned some warning letters that I never got, but that just sounds shady to me.

Well all i can say is it's in the TOS. If you break anything in those TOS then sprint has every right to terminate their service with you.

Yeah they are well within their "rights" to cancel my contact, but a little warning would've been nice. Hopefully they'll at least give me till the end of my billing cycle.
