Yeah it's 10 GB. It was laughable when I looked at the data usage, because the 4 lines only used 4 GBs on average a month (Im not on the plan because I use a work line).
This is my case so the flexibility works better for me. 4 lines 2 people barely use data. They are on lower tier. The other 2 individuals average 15-20gb easily per line. Bill subtotal is 140 for 4 lines. Att for the same plan with 30gb shared is 225 plus 4 phones (60) comes to 285. Att forces hard cap and if you go over you get charged additional fees. T-Mobile just throttles you. If you need more speed for those lower tier lines because you unusually went over then all you need to do is adjust the plan and adjust back and they will just pro rate you for the usuage but you never have to worry about data management to avoid overage fees. Now if you can stay and live with 10gb limited data then it makes the deal more reasonable but its not as flexible as tmobiles plan structure. The sweet spot to save money with att is there, its just small.
Good point. If you want unlimited 4G data on one or more lines, pooling fails and T-Mobile's plans rule.
How does anyone use more than a GB or two of data? Do you people never use wifi, or what? Maybe it's just that wifi is like a savior to me because my network is so slow....
1. Wifi at my job is terrible and makes it hard to watch video. 2. I use my phone as a Wifi hotspot quite often when out and about. 3. Probably shouldn't admit this, but I watch NBA games while driving home from work sometimes. 4. My current phone is over 3 years-old with a smallish, mediocre screen and the OS is Gingerbread. When I get a new phone with a better and larger display, latest OS and improved battery, 1-2 GB/mo won't begin to be enough. That all said, 50 GB/mo seems crazy. Netflix?
I torrent to my phone from time to time. I also stream espn because sometimes radio espn is getting bad reception. spotify and especially aereo on football sundays.
I guess I'm just so used to living in a town with hardly any coverage. Streaming anything off my network is almost impossible. I'm lucky half the time to be able to get a webpage to load. It's impossible to use my network for Pandora or Spotify. Thus, I'm constantly glued to wifi, and when it's unavailable, I basically use nothing. I don't live in BFE. The area I live in has about 250,000 people. I'm within two hours drive of three major sports-bearing cities. We're just largely ignored by cell companies, I guess. Unless I wanted to pay a buttload and be limited on my phone selection and join Verizon.
