Cricket testing 10GB broadband plan

We live in a world of 5GB limits on data transfer for mobile broadband. All the major carriers impose this limit, and they charge sizable overages that do well to keep people under 5GB. Cricket is a bit different. They charge about $20 less than the major carriers — $40 vs. $60 for the big players — and while they have a 5GB cap, there are no overages. They just throttle the connection, moving you to an ant’s crawl across the Internet. Now they’re looking at an additional tier: $60 for 10GB. That would mean the same price as the big players, but for double the data transfer. It’s only a test for now, and there’s no guarantee that Cricket makes it publicly available. If they do, they could lock down a number of broadband customers looking for more than the standard 5 gigs.
