Pleasently surprised with 4s on Sprint.

Those speeds really are pathetic. And what's worse, mi wife's Sprint 4s rarely gets even those slow speeds. Meanwhile my Verizon 4s is usually getting 2m speeds. Not happy!

Sprint, it appears, charges $79.99 for 450 minutes and unlimited data (including the $10 smartphone premium). If you want tethering without jailbreak, that's an extra $29.99, and tethering is capped at 5GB - total $109.98.

AT&T would be $39.99 for 450 minutes, $25.00 for 2GB data, and $20.00 for tethering plus another 2GB data (4GB total phone/tethering combined) - total $84.99. This is "Basically" what I have (I actually have a 550 minute family plan but if I were on individual plan this is what I'd have).

If you're going to compare the value of plans you really should include EVERYTHING that is offered.

At&t charges $20 for unlimited texting (which Sprint includes in their $89.99) making your $84.99 actually $104.99. So the prices are actually $104.99 VS $89.99 for minimal features without totally limiting yourself.

Honestly though... they should do away with texting plans altogether and put in for data based text messaging and higher base data caps.

Too bad I don't control the world yet.
