80 voda trika Well, that was fast: A day after Sprint stirred up the ire of customers with its new “All-In” unlimited plan that stuck users with 3G speeds for streaming video, the company has now reversed course.

But the company didn’t explain what “standard network management practices” would mean other than not choking video speeds.
Below are the plans that Sprint says will no longer have streaming video limits:
