Sorry to be rude but why would you post this in the metro section ?

I signed up for more details but I noticed it shows a usage cap of 1GB in the "Welcome To CricKet email". I wonder why this article says 2.3GB usage cap?
Ok, I just forgot to write this: do you guys think now that the iPhone is coming to cricket, being the first time in a pre-paid carrier it would be possible it will also make it to Metro ?
I defiinately think more pre-paid carriers will add the iPhone to their line-ups.
The HTC evo 3D for Virgin looks pretty good! $299.00 bucks for dual core 1.2 ghrtz processor, 4.3. inch screen, dual rear 3D cameras with flash and .... get this Ice Cream Sandwich outta the box!
Come on Metro quit dragging your @$$ ! Anyone know how the speeds are on Virgin/Sprint.... I am thinking about jumping ship.
Metro is realy falling back on everything, I wanna know who is there accessors to give them advise on how to do things..
@ Acemania: sprints wimax service has improved a lot, metro had a great 4G LTE service at first, I use to get 5-6 mbps always...now I get 3-4 at times if im lucky...that was sprints speeds at first...one of my employees has sprint 4G and his is faster than mines in the store 'brooklyn'..i barely get 2 mbps..its like 0.89 to 1...horrible.

I would get this iPhone purely based off two things:
1) I'm an Apple Sheep/iTard/fanboy or whatever "clever" moniker one can bestow. CricKet is OFFICIALLY the best plan one can get with the iPhone 4S with the highest "unlimited"(2.3GB) I've seen thus far.
2) Sprint's Network Vision is going to kick @$$ and Atlanta is the first place it's going to launch. I've even had my GF's stepfather confirm that his EVO was "better than ever before" in Atlanta... that said CricKet runs off Sprint. so far Sprint MVNOs(and MVNOs in general) have been proven to have the exact speeds as their parent. I'm not ChazzMatt so I cannot brandish proof but I've read it all here.
I'm starting to think that it would be a possibility for Metro. The big problem is that Metro's 3G network is pretty lackluster. But that wouldn't be a problem for iPhone fans would it?

Metro's EVDO in NY/NJ is now capped at 600mbps
In other news, the LG Connect will be $249 instant tomorrow, while the Esteem and Attain go back to no rebate.
LG Select and Samsung Contour will be allowed on the $25 plan tomorrow too.
And yes, Metro has no excuses to carry an iPhone now. They usually are 2 steps behind Cricket on devices, so here's hoping! I would use 2GB of data on week 1 with an iPhone downloading all the apps I would want to initially install after jailbreaking, etc.
Oh ok did not know it was decent speeds up in the nyc area so they really want to sell the connect at that price I guess the others lte phones are running late on their arrival I bet metro will wait until september to release anything high end
