Cricket never even sent me a message that they were halving my monthly
allotment for full speed from 5 to 2.5GB so they could try to sell me
more bandwidth for 5GB-$50 and 10GB-$60.

Too bad for them. Back in the dumpster. I won't renew next month when
my time runs out and throw the modem back in the drawer.... They piss me
off! I'll just eat at wifi-enabled restaurants, again.

Mobile broadband is worthless to me if all you get is email and
spampages.

Whatever their plans are, they may disappoint you with their 1700 MHz spectrum usage where at&t -- and presumably your data equipment -- uses 1900.
