My virgin mobile (35 per month) unlimited data plan will start getting throttled in march - after 2.5gb.

I'm so glad I left ATT behind. Sure it's a little slower, and I can't get an iphone or the latest or greatest android phone. But it's one of the best values out there, and I didn't need to sign a freaking lock in contract.

So it starts throttling at a half gig later? And you have to deal with crappy phones? Great deal you got there.

At a third of the price. Price-to-value ratio is much better.

And while the LG Optimus Slider has a smallish screen, it still runs android 2.3. And with a slide-out keyboard, SSH sessions are a lot easier. It's "good enough."
