Yeah look at the job requirements and stuff. Experience!!!! But I would love to work for them!!! And the service on the states! Like look at the map, they beat every other carrier. That's the result of being in the business for 115 years. I would also like to get my home internet with spring. As for cable, that's been cut.

I cut cable wayyyyy back when I found out Sprint was selling LTE modems and SIMs. I can easily just buy a Chromebook with the little SIM port and not have to worry about anything

Do they really offer truly unlimited data? Can I use 100 GB with a SIM card?

From what I use, minutes I don't even worry about. Also, I use around 10GB or so a month, not much. Right now I can't check anything lol

Of that sticks. I asked boost Mobile on Twitter if I can use 100 GB of days, apparently it's unreasonable use of data.

Back when I had Comcast as the ISP, I would end up going over the 250GB cap 0_0

How do you do that?

Attending lots and modding lots of twitch.tv streams. Also, refreshing a heavy site like Twattir many times didn't help...
I downloaded lot's of my old isos' and they were oddly bigger than I remembered.

I can't even begin to use that much, other then uploading lots to YouTube and listening to music 24\7.

Watching YouTube in 1080p certainly didn't help my data usage either lol
Now I try to keep it down by 10 notches. I use wifi when I can, I will only use LTE if needed,

When I had my Google play music all access subscription, I used 45 GB of data on one tablet in a 20 day period. YouTube was link 20 GB.

Yes I use my tablet like that. And I hope I dont get into trouble with boost if I do it like that with my Moto G

Certainly nothing worn with using a tablet like that. The Moto G probably won't be able to stream more than music at 3G speeds, believe me. I tried streaming YouTube and I couldn't, unless I used the demon that is High Quality.

When I had my iphone 3GS I was able to stream Netflix and YouTube videos pretty nicely most of the time. It might be because I'm in the city and 3G connection to your pretty good.

Wait, the iPhone 3GS had HD support? Most of the time anyway, the school covers me with their T4 connection. Netflix plays nicely.

No it didn't have HD support. But then again I don't always need HD support.

Well that's good

I watched a 240p video on a new 4K TV at a store.
My eyes want to cry lol

Loll 480 P won't be that bad but it's certainly not 720 P. Maybe the 3G connection here can withstand the 720 P on the MotoG

3G can prolly withstand it, you just need good signal and such,

There's usually good signal here in the city. But when I travel that's when things are going to get bad. Does Google Maps automatically download the maps and still give you directions when there's no connection to any cellular towers?

I think that you can preload a map, maybe it's in the settings.

If I was on the Sprint network and I would not have to worry about it. They have really good coverage everywhere most of the United States.

Just found out you can preload, https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/2650218?hl=en
That's some pretty cool stuff Google's pulled off, being able to save a map

The big question is will it still give you turn by turn navigation as a GPS wood?

I would think so, I haven't gotten a chance to visit a place with no internet signal. Oh wait, I forgot aeroplane mode was a feature.

I think I'll give it a shot when I go out of town. It would be nice if they can guide me all the way to my parents house in Michigan where there is absolutely no internet connection for any of the carriers, well maybe sprint.
