Sprint's New $20 'Unlimited' Data Plan Throttles Users After 1 GB

Sprint is now offering a $20 monthly "unlimited" data plan with a catch -- the company will throttle subscribers who use more than 1 GB of data in a month. Those people will see connections drop from 4G LTE to service at extremely slow 2G speeds. "Sprint’s new plan -- selling for only $20/month -- lowers the limbo bar so close to the ground that the term 'unlimited' might not be flexible enough to slip underneath," Consumerist writes.
