Subreddit RulesHopefully with all this concrete data and the courts on our side, AT&T will be forced to change something. This Subreddit is an unofficial discussion forum. Visual voicemail and tethering hotspot are also included in this plan.As of April 1, 2020, Sprint is a T-Mobile company. This plan provides you an unlimited data transfer and internet usage, unlimited texts, unlimited calls by evening and weekends and a 450 minutes call by weekdays. The second data plan offered by Sprint has a price of 80 and below per month.

Previously it wasn't causing a huge performance issue on the network, now it is so they are enforcing rules that have been in place for years, just not enforced.It's not a matter of "Sprint dealing with it". Only the top 5% of users are prioritized lower, and even then, it's only once the tower they are on is congested already, if the tower isn't congested then there is no prioritization penalty.In addition, the reason it is being implemented, largely, is because of the users tethering and using a ton of data violating the T&Cs, like this thread is about.The alternatives are a T-Mobile or AT&T/Verizon type of system, I highly doubt you'd prefer either of those instead.What a surprise, a business is now actually enforcing the rules they had set before. It is not blanket throttling like T-Mobile, or overage charges like AT&T and Verizon.

If you never are on a congested tower, you'll never see it, because the tower already can handle the load being put on it. Personally I would rather have tiered transfer speeds (over LTE) with no caps over tiered caps if there has to be tiered plans.The new prioritization scheme is just being implemented, it wasn't in place previously although the terms of service did allow it (it just wasn't specified how they would do it).That being said, it only affects you if you are actively using the tower when it is congested. It forces customers to either deal with barely usable speeds or pay more money. A heavy usage customer impacting the experience of a lite usage customer is SCREWING THEM AND SPRINT OVER.So be happy that Sprint is only lowering your prioritization and your bandwidth is only affected for a few seconds to a few minutes while there is congestion on a tower at any given moment and not throttling you down to unusable speeds for the remainder of your billing cycle.There is NO EXCUSE for any competent carrier to NOT implement this same type of policy for high unlimited usage customers.Here is a post where I give an explanation of how this prioritization will be experienced.The other carriers that felt the crunch got rid of unlimited.No they implemented caps because it's a money grab. If ANY carrier does not deprioritize high unlimited usage customers then those customers can monopolize any tower and impact the experience of lite usage customers.
So you could get 4G speeds, then get prioritized lower as the tower congests and get 3G speeds, and go back and forth as users go on and off the tower. It's not a flat throttle like T-Mobile dropping you to 2G speeds, it's likely to be more inconsistent than that if the tower goes in and out of congested status. In addition, we don't actually know what it will look like on the customer-end of the connection.
That's not where the limitations are, the limitations are with overall backhaul (Sprint's legacy network problem), the efficiency of the hardware itself (also a legacy issue), and the spectral efficiency of the various protocols.I also keep seeing the "tmobile has caps too!" defense, which is complete hogwash because they still offer a true unlimited plan. There is very good QoS implemented on wireless networks and has been for years. I didn't even notice through Netflix on my laptop, I noticed because my phone dropped it's WiFi connection due to a lack of Internet access and fell back to the mobile network until it came back up The prioritization scheme instead functions as an additional QoS layer and only affects you while there is active congestion, as soon as that's gone (even for a minute) a proper buffering/streaming system would be able to compensate.It's not a black and white situation like the average person tends to think of. Just as an example, my internet at home went out the other night for about 10 minutes while watching a movie on Netflix. There will be gaps in congestion where even with the prioritization "penalty", the stream would be able to compensate (assuming a good buffering system is utilized).
Yes it's truly unlimited data (as is Sprint) but you get bumped down drastically when you reach your 4G limit. You get a set 4G usage amount, then get bumped down to 2G when you go over until your next billing cycle.
