Do you know if Cricket is doing anything about it?

(See Jas comment) I can understand that for a set period but not for the life of your service. I have only gone over the 5g once because I was using it for work so it was unintentional so I would not want to be punished for that forever. It was not with Cricket. I was going to switch to Cricket so I didn't have to have a contract and I would also have the lower price but would like to know the policy on this issue first. @Jesus Morga – what about the issue of going over the 5g then speed slowing down.

I am currently employed with Cricket Wireless and as of 10/01/09 Cricket launched a NEW MODEM the UM185 at least here in Portland OR they did which DOES support Windows 7 and it's over passed the expectations of speed we had thought it would offer. Now The reason why you In Philadelphia had a lack of speed was because you were first off using the Crickets A600 modem which was not updated nor did it come supported for Windows 7. If you currently have the A600 you can go to a full service store and have the tech support replace the current software with the one compatible with Windows 7. Purchase Price is no different then before and it can not be compared to what any other company can offer for month to month service for the price we do. CLEAR Wireless attempts to compete with Cricket but from the business prespective of things they first off have a minimum of a 1yr contract..$35 activation fee and the lack of reception is way noticeable so bottom line is that there is no comparing the two companies specially when CLEAR attempts to market them Selves as 4g and Wimax operated??? I mean first off 4g is just a way to target people not well informed of the present technology. In summary. Try us out....you have nothing to loose. But much savings to gain. We currently are proud to say we Can link both of our Modems the a600 and um185 to either an Xbox360 or PS3. so as of 01/08/10 Cricket is leading the UNLIMITED WIRELESS BROADBAND INDUSTRY in those States and Cities Supported. Jesus Morga Cricket Wireless Sales Manager. So I have an update for all of you.

I also think the cap the download at around 700Kb's for proper bandwidth allocation to their users and to avoid quick compsumtion of vlient's 5GB allowance. For $40, it is really a competition killer. I do use cricket in south jersey, I think their network may be one of the best implemented network around and their covarege is good.
