Sprint charging 300 percent premium on T1 lines

three_card_monte.jpgTroubled telco Sprint charged a customer nearly $2,000 for a T1 line that only cost them $500 to provide, and then didn't even deliver the promised three megabits of bandwidth, inspiring GigaOm's Stacey Higginbotham to coin the phrase "Three Megabit Monte." That's probably a disservice to the classic street scam. [GigaOm] (Photo by Nelson Minar)
