When did they start offering no contracts?  I had 2 weeks last
summer where Time Warner Cable severely fscked up my internet
and I had not net access and I was looking for whatever I could
do to get online from home, but I was told I couldn't get Cricket
(or maybe it was another provider?) unless I signed a 2 year
contract.  I would have shelled out $40 in a heartbeat if I didn't
have to sign a long term contract.

Cheers,
Tanner
