Yeah, this buyout is hurting all of us Alltel customers. In the end I'm sure the network itself will be better, but you'll be paying more for less and seeing new things like monthly caps on data.
The Alltel customers taking the biggest hit are customers like me that heavily rely on tethering our phones as our only way to get online at home. I'm sure I could find a way to monitor my usage and keep it under 5gb/month, but that's going to be an extreme pain in the butt and heavily limits me on downloading stuff like game patches that can reach in excess of a gigabyte in size.
