600Kbps at all times is pretty harsh. It would be unpleasant to have your 720P YouTube video buffering like hell, then checking the network performance with a speed test pulling 120mbps CA goodness. In that case, the network is being under utilized. Maybe just de-prioritize video traffic instead. There's a balance to this somewhere.

Marcelo has got a lemon of a plan, here. It's blowing up before he can even get back stateside. This one is DOA. The tech media is going to eat him alive.

 

We are now going to see how nimble Sprint can be with fast changes. Because this one is going to go over worse than Framily.

 

Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!

 

 

Honestly the plan is cool just remove that 600kbps at all times crap.

Would have been smart to introduce higher tier bucket plans to go along with this new "unlimited" plan to supplement.

 

I totally get the premise of getting people off the unlimited plans, but this is definitely the wrong way of going about it.

Lol. Exactly or "I don't know how that got in there"

And maybe 1 free phone swap every 12 months [emoji56]

Even 1Mbps would be acceptable for most. C'mon, Sprint!

You never stay on Sprint long enough to do a phone swap!

Yet another plan which is not an improvement.

 

vs

 

+ $50 unlimited iphone plan

+ $20 iphone6/16 *and keep it*

 

So this 'All In' is $10 more? What is the difference with this new plan today?

Excellent.  I feel better already!!!

 

Seriously, you always find a most wonderfully appropriate clip or image at the right time.  Yes!  Yes!!  Yes!!!

Seems like they should have vetted this with a focus group of millenials before releasing it out into the wild.

Thanks Darnell.  When the folks who's opinions I value most are coming down questioning this plan, I know I'm not going crazy.

Way to many people are assuming in here. More of a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. God help us if every one thinks they are going to be streaming everything at 4k. I'm just happy being on my family share 20gb plan where I do have hotspot and tethering for my 2 devices which is only costing me $107 a month less my discount.

The more and more I think about this new "All-In" plan...it is DOA. The media is going to blow up over it, at the same time T-Mobile is good press coverage for "Uncarrier Amped". This is just bad for Sprint's struggling image.

 

Things that need to change

*Remove $36 activation fee
*Remove video throttling, or at least make it 1.5Mbps

*Add a 12 month lease option

*Hotspot included, even if only 1GB

 

One other point to make...the David Beckham ad on Sprint.com has the T-Mobile rep discussing "throttling" and the point being that it is confusing. But read the fine print, and...well, you get where I'm going.

Very nice --- but amped kicks this all day long.

 

What intriguing me is -- john hasn't spoke yet.....

The activation fee is lame, but don't forget TMO charges you $15 (IIRC) for your SIM card setup - essentially an activation fee - so if they lowered it would make sense.

We are discussing internally, but S4GRU is considering an Editorial against this plan.  #AllinDOA

That's because they have they're own issues with "unlimited data" limited to a 21GB softcap..

[P_M_G]

Marcelo should just say it was a clerical error that was in the plan details before the FCC ruling and their legal forgot to take it out. Claim someone was going to lose their job or something.

MARK MY WORDS.....Legere is working on something. My guess is later today or tomorrow, and T-Mobile will win all sorts of press praise.

 

#allin has all the writing on the wall of old fashion Sprint. The hashtag is even dumb written like they have it, "#AllIn"...who in marketing approved that?
