Sprint Just Added Amazing Upgrades To Its Unlimited Plan

With Verizon and T-Mobile now offering unlimited plans, Sprint has decided to up the ante by tweeking their own unlimited plan.

The company announced this week that starting February 17th, its unlimited data plan will offer high-definition video streaming and 10 GB of LTE mobile-hotspot data a month for new subscribers.

Previously, Sprint capped all video streams on its unlimited plan at a less-than-HD resolution of 480p by default.

Subscribers who did want HD video streaming on an unlimited plan had to pay for a separate $75-a-month offering. New subscribers will be able stream video up to a sharper 1080p resolution on the default plan.

AT&T also announced this week to make its unlimited plan more available for customers but does not include mobile-hotspot data as part of its unlimited plan at all.

As for who can benefit from Sprint’s new updates, only new subscribers and those who purchased five lines of service for $90 a month as part of a price promotion that the carrier rolled out earlier this month, are eligible.
