Yeah, but (barring company discount) the family version of that plan used to be more at AT&T than the same plan at Sprint. $20 or $30 more depending on your exact plan. Now, the Sprint unlimited plans cost the same as the AT&T plans that aren't unlimited, so they still have the competetive advantage, I'd be paying the same montly for as an iPhone but for a more inclusive plan. But I literally have zero use for those extras and surely, for my use, not worth the $500-$700 it saved me over the 2 year contract. It's still a great price, Sprint is still $10 lower than T-Mobile and Verizon, but more plan than I need.
This might finally trigger the inevitable dropping of Netflix. Time to stop paying $15/month to store DVDs in our tv cabinet for months. We can always rent from TiVo in a pinch.
ETA: Oh yeah, actually, I don't know what the family plan options at AT&T are. For some reason they don't let you buy more than 1 iPhone at a time online, you have to call or go to a store.
ETA more: From what I can gather looking at their non-iphone smartphone family plans, They do still have the options to not do unlimited but costs the same or more than Sprint's unlimited.
