I created the petition in the hopes that Sprint as well as other mobile broadband carriers (by following the example) will increase their mobile broadband cap, remove it altogether, or lower the cost of their services if they are going to continue to have such restrictive bandwidth caps.

I used to have Millenicom's services, which resell Verizon and Sprint services, when they had unlimited mobile broadband. Before this I had a local community service which no longer services my area because they sold their equipment to another company which then promptly took the wireless equipment down and relocated it. Unless you can afford to live within city limits, within one of the nearby towns of me, your options are dial-up, satellite or cellular based, unless you're one of the few lucky house holds next to a trunk line running to subdivision or apartment complex and they were nice enough to tie you in for a hefty fee.

In this day and age of internet use and the fact that it's become a lot cheaper over the years I would have believed all internet provider companies would do away with this continued 2, 5, 10gb bandwidth cap notions

Now, when Sprint decided to do away with the bring your own device plans and rearranged their agreement with Millenicom what happened? I was forced off Millenicom, and I chose to buy a Sprint account because I already knew the tower's location and what signal strength I could receive. First thing I noticed was the hotspot I had to get in order to receive service and the fact that it's bandwidth use meter does not match up anywhere near Sprint's online meter. Right now this meter is 900mb behind Sprint's meter and the disparity gradually increases with use. Next, Sprint carries over part of your bandwidth from last five days. So my second month I automatically lost rough 500mb of my usage and I used 10.5gb that month, not even the full 12gb, so why is this being carried over other then to shorten my usability of their service for the next 30 days?

For $80/mo on an average 1mbit connection I would prefer Sprint to increase their monthly bandwidth allotment to 50gb or do away with it altogether, do a hard reset of the cap every month so it resumes to 0 use that midnight of the new month, no excuses.
