[ Wireless internet
Cricket's (and all other wireless carriers') wireless broadband internet service does not always run at advertised speeds. Cricket's unlimited broadband internet service is not limited (i.e. there is no additional cost) even if the 2.5GB, 5GB or 7.5GB 'Limits' per monthly billing cycle are exceeded. However Cricket may reduce bandwidth if these limits are exceeded based on a 30-day usage measurement. They may also reduce bandwidth slightly during times of high demand in any particular area.www.programs-kingdom.blogspot.com
