I didn't say anything about Singapore or anything off topic. I said that in my opinion you should wait. I didn't mention SoftBank because I don't think it's a done deal yet. But if the deal goes through and Sprint gets $20B to invest in the network that they are already rolling out, upgrades can start happening much faster and overall the network will get better, both LTE and 3G.
I guess my point is, if you've waited this long what's another year? Mind you, you already have LTE and unlimited. I wish I lived in your part of the country. Supposedly we'll get it by the end of the year. At least for me 3G is acceptable and I'm a patient man. I currently use about 3 to 4gb's of data per month I imagine it will be higher because we now use FaceTime which works fine for us. Once we get LTE I can see that usage going closer to 8 to 10 gb's and maybe higher. Plus keep in mind that once LTE is coast to coast and covers Europe and Asia there will be more and more services offered that will use more data. In the future we will be able to do a lot more with our iPhones and iPads than we can now due to slow data speeds. I imagine that at some point in the future Sprint might do away with unlimited but I also hope that they will allow current users to be grandfathered in.
I thought about going to Verizon or AT&T for about five minutes. Once I saw how much it would cost us I immediately dropped the whole idea. You have to do what you think is best for you and your family but I think leaving Sprint now is a mistake.
for as low as US$13/month people can enjoy 100Mbps up and down in Hong Kong
