Doesn’t sound like I can get all I want if it’s not at a speed that lets me get all I want.
I don't see anything in their advertising that says you can have all you want at unlimited speeds. For that matter, "unlimited' is not possible from ANYONE - since you are limited by the data transmission speed even on LTE.
By your silly logic, "All you can eat" buffets are lying because if you want to eat more than the mass of the planet earth, they won't provide it.

Except that they didn't say you could get from CA to NY in 3 days. They just said you could get from CA to NY. You're the one who's insisting that you have to get there in 3 days.
Now, granted, the link to the ad is now marked private. But the CEO did define unlimited. (emphasis mine)

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse defines “unlimited” in new TV ad
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), March 12, 2011 - Sprint (NYSE: S) aims to set the record straight on what “unlimited” means in a new TV ad that once again features CEO Dan Hesse.
Building on previous successful campaigns featuring Hesse, the Sprint CEO appears for the 10th time in a TV spot that reinforces simplicity, value and Sprint’s commitment to the customer experience. The new advertisement highlights that Sprint customers on Simply Everything®data plans don’t have to worry about surprises on their monthly bills due to data overage charges on phones like they might with AT&T’s tiered data plans. Nor do they have to limit their data usage on phones to avoid throttling, like they might with Verizon’s new policy of slowing down speeds for heavy users or T-Mobile’s policy of limiting speeds once customers reach 5 GB of data usage.
In the ad Hesse says: “The other day, I looked up the word unlimited in the dictionary. Nowhere in the definition did I see words like metering, overage, or throttling, which is code for slowing you down. Only Sprint gives you true unlimited calling, texting, surfing, TV and navigation on all phones.”
He concludes with the question: “Why limit yourself?”
“Some of our competitors continually attempt to create confusion in the mind of the consumer by talking about ‘unlimited’ plans that are not truly unlimited on their networks,” said Bill Morgan, Sprint senior vice president-Corporate Marketing. “If you have to worry about additional charges appearing on your bill based on usage, that’s not an unlimited plan. We chose to use Mr. Hesse to deliver that message because he’s become a trusted voice.”
Sprint’s Simply Everything Plan offers more value and simplicity than other wireless carriers, and is the only plan from a national carrier to offer true unlimited service while on the Sprint network for every phone without the worry of throttling or overage. The Simply Everything Plan delivers unlimited calling, text and Web, including email, social networking, GPS navigation, TV and radio while on the Sprint 3G and 4G networks for $99.99 per month, plus a required $10 Premium Data add-on charge for smartphones.
I don't see anything in their advertising that says you can have all you want at unlimited speeds. For that matter, “unlimited’ is not possible from ANYONE…
Truth. Point conceded.
You're the one who's insisting that you have to get there in 3 days.
Ah, but then they’re portending to be able to define for me “all I want”.
Comments
No. Not even Straight Talk, which forces you to buy their “unlimited” (lying whores) plan instead of the $30 one.
You really ought to be careful about slandering companies.
Straight Talk's data plan IS unlimited. You can download as much as you want.
Granted, they slow down your delivery if you are a data hog, but you can still get all you want.
So where's the lie?
Oh, I’m equally upset with all of them; don’t worry.
Doesn’t sound like I can get all I want if it’s not at a speed that lets me get all I want.
