"Sprint’s going to have a hard time convincing consumers that they should pay extra for its slower 4G speeds"<p>Sprint no longer charges a premium for 4g users. All smartphone users pay the extra 10 bucks they once charged 4g users.<p>Even with the extra 10 bucks, Sprint is still 20-30 bucks cheaper per line than Verizon.

Not sure it matters. Because of the cap, your overall monthly effective transfer rate is probably something like 10x slower.
