Technically... Sprint doesn't limit total the amount of transfer. There might be some proforma limits in the fine print, but it's widely known (and demonstrated - lots of streaming video on Sprint 1xEV-DO Rev. A) that Sprint doesn't enforce transfer limits.
Verizon Wireless - when you exceed 5 GB in one month, throttles you for the remainder of a month (no idea whether that's calendar month, billing period, or what) and sends you a stern warning. Also, Sprint will sell you broadband service for $60/month without regard to whether you have Sprint phone service. Verizon Wireless reserves the $60/month broadband plan for those that have a VW phone; else VW broadband is $80/month Plus tax, title, dealer prep, all the usual inane charges. To answer Don's question about other broadband services - AT&T has a similar plan, but check for transfer limits. Theirs is called HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) or HSDPA (Download...) or HSUPA (Upload...). T-Mobile is still setting up their broadband service using new spectrum they acquired in an auction a few years ago. Rumors are that they'll make it initially available this year. Like AT&T they use GSM, so theirs will also be HSPA / HSDPA / HSUPA. Sprint is deploying Mobile WiMAX in Chicago and DC / Baltimore. Maybe other markets soon. Clearwire is deploying Mobile WiMAX in Portland (Beaverton) and Sacremento. Maybe other markets soon. There's a handful of others - Alltel, etc. but the above is a capsule summary.
