Sprint Kills “The Fairness Algorithm” – Ceases Throttling Heavy Users
A year ago Sprint introduced “The Fairness Algorithm” that would slow speeds down for customers who were amongst the top 5% of data users on the Sprint network – but only when connected to congested towers.

We’ve heard the past several days from a few readers who ordered the brand new weBoost Drive 4G-X cellular booster and who received some of the initial deliveries.

Sprint Introduces “Rolling Data” – Only Prepaid, Only At Best Buy?
Sprint today joined T-Mobile and AT&T in offering rollover data. But, in typical Sprint fashion, there are confusing and seemingly arbitrary limits attached. “Rolling Data” That Never Expires Unlike T-Mobile’s Data Stash one year expiration policy, and AT&T’s stingy one month rollover expiration, Sprint’s “Rolling Data” never expires – and users can accumulate up to 30GB […]
