Root MetroPCS Tiered 4G Plans

This info was posted on Howard Forums about 2-3 days ago from a guy who is a dealer. From what he is saying, Metro knows this info has gotten out early before it is supposed to go into effect and the BIG WIGS are pissed!

All I can say... is don't sit here and complain! Call and email the company and voice your displeasure! Tell them you will leave for another carrier.

Remember this happened with Netflix!! Enough people complained and dropped them, that they changed the prices back and were begging people to come back to them.

With these changes what makes Metro any different than Verizon, Sprint etc.?

That's what made Metro unique and made them stand apart from the greedy contract based carriers. I guess Metro is just as greedy. They figure the economy is turning around " because the government says it is ." 5 dollar a gallon gas by summer too....watch!! Just saying.

As I stated before I am going to call Metro, already emailed them.............as long as "sit here and complain". ;)

I honestly think that's what a lot of people will do. Makes no sense to pay 70 bucks when you can go else where for the same price and get much better service for your money.

Well I havent gone over the 1gb a month threshold yet, but i have dsl at home so dont download movies on my phone all day, doesnt seem like it will effect me. . . However Metro 4G is less than half of other carriers speed. . . they have Fake 3g and Fake 4g

I think it depends on where you are, The closer I am to Detroit the faster the speed is, pretty much up with family and friends that are on other carriers, the further I travel from Detroit the slower the speeds get.

Yeah well, with the new plans... EVERYTHING counts against against your data! No longer just streaming music or video. If you use your phone to just browse the internet on 4G that counts. People are really upset.

Although someone who claims to work for Metro on HF says that if you lock in the 60 dollar unlimited plan BEFORE the new plans go into effect that you will be " grandfathered in " when the new plans take effect.

Also... another VERY reliable source who always was spot on with every new phone or new plans being released said....

Metro is doing this to raise money before they sell the company. We all know they tried and failed to sell Metro to Sprint.

My point is even if you max out at 3.5 to 4 K , , the same sprint or verizon will be double that the same distance from the tower. Wait until metro anounces its going to LIMIT its unlimited call and text messages tomorrow

yeah and then when you upgrade to a new phone yoru plan raises.

If they are doing this to "raise" money all they are going to do is bankrupt it before it gets sold.
 
Well Verizon and Sprint are tiered too so remember that BUT to agree moving to them I would like to have faster data if both are going to be tiered also.

if that's true they really are trying to kill their own company. I never understand the thinking of these suits.
 
Im gonna go ahead and pay my bill that way I MIGHT get another month of 40 dollar goodness that I have now before it does change.

Nevermind. Already paid for April. So maybe I'll get another month since I already paid???
 
Haha April fools everyone good joke!....... This IS a joke...... Right?

I didn't say anything about buying a new phone... I said if you lock in the 60 dollar unlimited plan the guy said it would be grandfathered in.

Once again ... I am merely the messenger. " I " am not the one saying this. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out when it happens in a couple of days.

I alrealdy have my eyes on the RAZR MAXX from Verizon lol
 
Its not worth it we only get like 500 lib down to Max of 2.5 maybe 3. Ill go to Verizon cuz its the same allmost but for 70 bucks ill get like 20 meg down maybe more so looks like good by metro hello Verizon

If I got anything it would be the Galaxy 2 or the Galaxy 3 when it comes out. The RAZR's screens are cracking under pressure from the phone being so thin.

I think you miss understood me, I wasn't saying you said anything, I was saying, yeah you would be grandfathered in till you, "as in anyone" upgrading their phone would then be pushed to the new pricing.

I'll just get a cheap arse tracfone.
