Sprint Criminals
« on: August 27, 2007, 08:08:32 PM »
Sprint Criminals (Chicago to 35 miles)

Date: 2007-08-27, 7:34PM CDT


Sprint Broadband is guilty of fraud.
Selling something they don't yet own.
They are OVERSELLING there line of sight broadband internet from sears tower.
Thier original contract 5 or 6 years ago with me was 5mbps.
Without written notice to my home, they changed that to 1mbps.
However doing a speed test both from sprints website and from vonage website thier download was 400kbps and upload 25kbps. The criminals still had the nerve to raise the price from 39.95 a month to 44.95 a month. I can upload faster via a 5.95 a month dialup and downloads as fast as thiers and more reliable using SBC/verizan's DSL at 14.95 a month. I still dont trust wires, so am changing to "Wild Blue" Satalite internet.

If Sprint criminals did this to line of site, they would very likely do the same to thier new pcmcia broadband adapters for laptops and cellular.

Lets CUT OFF THIER HEADS by boycoting them.
Lets stick with T-Mobiles mobile internet products
and use alternatives such as cable-modem or satalite for land based internet.

Some guy just did stand-up paddle boarding across Lake Michigan raising several thousand dollars for cancer research and you want me to care about your wireless connection?

Don't introduce yourself. Just post a stupid boycott and hope we jump on the bandwagon. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm thoroughly convinced in helping him out on this one.

Oh, totally.

I'm leaving this up for kicks. It's somewhat amusing.
