“Sprint announced Thursday that it will ditch its unlimited 4G mobile broadband offering,” Chloe Albanesius reports for PC Magazine.
“Starting with the next billing cycle, customers’ ‘on-network monthly data allowance will no longer include unlimited 4G,’ Sprint said in a notice on its Web site,” Albanesius reports. “Sprint will also limit data usage via a phone’s mobile hotspot. ‘Currently, if you use your phone’s Mobile Hotspot add-on, the Mobile Hotspot data usage is combined with your phone data usage,’ Sprint said. ‘Effective on your next bill following notification, your monthly mobile hotspot on-network data usage will be limited to 5GB of 3G or combined 3G/4G usage dependent upon device capability.'”
