[solbadguy89]

okay ive been seeing the new so called 4g lte a.my question is how do you think they will monopolize it. i mean i think virgin mobile is decent. but these guys need to stop being got damn stingy. and not have a throttle on the 4g. also from what ive been reading they say they may get rid of 3 g all together.any thoughts

4G LTE A stands for 4G LTE Advanced. It's actually been around for over a year . It's been mainly in some European and Asian markets. It is faster than LTE. But don't expect it to be here any time soon. 4G LTE is still an emerging market here in the US. That's because our country is so damn big. While most countries have 1-20+ million citizens, ours has over 300 million. And not to mention, the US is mostly a rural country. It's not that they're being stingy, it's that it takes so friggen long to mainstream a technological advancement in a country so big.

I think this will be better served in the Virgin Mobile forum.

As Ab5tracktion said, It really hard to deploy new technology across the entire USA. But the rationing of data is due to abuse. I have no problem if you want to use 100gb a month, but I do believe you should pay for it. So you can have a $35 plan, but when you exceed 2.5gb you will pay for every byte that you down load. I would guess the 100gb would be worth around $100, so for $135 per month, you get your 100gb of data. Use more, your bill goes up. Use less your bill goes down. Thats only fair.
