Cricket claims that their wireless is "UNLIMITED". This is a LIE.
I found this information on the PC Magazine web site:
PC Magazine Discussions - Cricket Offering Prepaid Wireless Broadband
And I Quote:
Sascha, whoever told you that "... Cricket has no usage cap" must not have read Cricket's acceptable use policy:
Cricket Wireless | Broadband Acceptable Use
in that policy, are these specific "limitations": (emphasis mine)
Examples of
prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following:
(i) continuous uploading, downloading or streaming of audio or video programming or games;
(ii) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing; or
(iii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections.
This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted,
but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services and/or redirecting television signals for viewing on laptops is prohibited.
A person engaged in prohibited uses, continuously for
one hour, could typically use 100 to 200 MBs, or, if engaged in prohibited uses for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week could use more than 5 GBs in a month.
...
We reserve the right to limit throughput or amount of data transferred, and to ;
to deny or terminate service, without notice anyone we believe is using the Cricket Broadband service in any manner prohibited above or whose usage adversely impacts our network or service levels. Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to limit throughput or immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice.
Please read Carefully. NO uploading or downloading "Continously of audio, video or of any Games".
If you upload or download more than 5GB a month, you are subject to termination without notice.
