Hesse and Son have history which we have discussed extensively in past posts when we would still refer to old craig mccaw

Dang you daddy Robert! hehehe, this discussions certainly do belong in other threads but the basic takeaway I am seeing here is that in certain (or many cases) depending on the number of devices on an account and type of old plan one falls under, these new plans, whether Framily, My Way, All-in, etc (regardless of disappearing discounts) are actually more expensive.
Certain aspects of this discussion do belong here if related to changes that resulted from post-SB New Sprint as the thread implies. i certainly don't agree with some of the whining, complaints or other things we frown upon here. It is hard for one to extract context from pure text unfortunately so some will get their panties in a wad.
I for one am happy with Sprint and have been a long time supporter even through the growing pains and headaches we have seen in the last 15 years. Would I want to leave my old/present plan for one of these new ones? Of course not, but that is because the value is there at my price point for the number and types of devices I have (all smartphones, tablets or hotspots) which my "Everything Whatever" plan of the past provides me. $450/mo is not a small sum but for some and at least for me any changes to a newer post-Softbank plan would result in an additional $100 or more dollars per month.
piggybacking on what you said earlier, everyone should make decisions based on what is the best for their particular circumstances, whether another carrier or plan that is the best fit for them.
P.S. I still love these sometimes horrifying campfire stories that go on around here.
