      In the time this year since I left that business Spectrum has doubled everyone's speeds here for free to 100mb, and they have cut the pricing down to $50 or less, and made similar offers to businesses.

      If they keep that up, they'll be comparable to the EU within a decade or two!

        I wouldn't use Hulu even if it was free... let alone pay for Sprint. I'm perfectly happy with T-Mobile.

        I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime. All I need. I already have unlimited internet with T-Mobile.

        And even TMo isn't unlimited, because at 22 GB, they throttle if THEY choose to.

        On all of these unlimited deals the actual result is that, during peak hours, they prioritize spectrum access differently. I have found with unlimited you can hit over 30GB and still be getting top speeds most of the day.

        Its not a hard cap and throttle like the MVNO and smaller guys do. Sprint started with this type of unlimited deal and ATT/Verizon seems to have followed suit. I can not speak directly to TMo on that though.

          Lol, I'm lucky to hit 3 or 4 GB a month.

          then you are drastically overpaying. For TMo to be smart, they need to anticipate you to use 22 GB and charge you based that on that usage, instead of charging you based upon you real issue.

          No, doing family plan. Its way cheaper than any other. But still, it doesn't work like that. The only possible way it could be cheaper is if we used less than 2 GB.

          My wife uses a lot more than me, but still we'll never see the 22 GB limit or whatever it is.

          This is me so far this month... the 2gb limit I have set is meaningless now that it's unlimited. However, if i do stay below 2gb, the bill is 10 dollars cheaper.

          Now WiFi on the otherhand.... that's up there lol.

          not exactly correct. In the current setup that TMo offers, you're right. But TMo could offer you a cost per GB plan like Google Fi does and you probably save something if not a lot.

          In order to charge flat rates, many people have to over pay for actual usage to make up the difference for the those that use a ton.

                It would have to be like $4gb to match what I got now

                  And they are still making money... we have no idea how much money. 90% of that could be profit, or 1% could be.

                  We know that Google Fi is $10/GB, so we know the price can be below that.

                    We know that Google Fi is $10/GB, so we know the price can be below that.

                    Even in the 1,000,000 GB range you are close to $1 per 100MB. That is down from about $15 to $18 a few years ago.

                    In 2014 I know Tmo was paying $1.80 per 100MB or $18/GB to networks when their users were roaming outside Tmo coverage.

                    So that is why you are now seeing the carrier networks start to be more attractive than the MVNO and Google Fi options

                    Google fi is $20 for talk/text + $60 = $80 for 6GB

                    ATT Prepaid is $40 for 6GB and talk/text

                    AT&T also allows data rollover if you have a slow month. I end up using all my daa these days.

                    I setup a prepaid family plan with AT&T when I left Fi and this year they started a family plan...

                    Me $40 for 6GB
                    Wife $35 for 6gb
                    Son $30 for 6GB
                    Daughter $25 for 6GB
                    Daughter $20 for 6GB
                    Son $15 for 6gB

                    I get one bill, everyone gets their own 6GB and their own rollover and unlimited talk/text. After 6GB it just throttles.

                        It would have to be like $4gb to match what I got now

                        And they are still making money... we have no idea how much money. 90% of that could be profit, or 1% could be.

                        We know that Google Fi is $10/GB, so we know the price can be below that.

                        Even in the 1,000,000 GB range you are close to $1 per 100MB. That is down from about $15 to $18 a few years ago.

                        In 2014 I know Tmo was paying $1.80 per 100MB or $18/GB to networks when their users were roaming outside Tmo coverage.

                        So that is why you are now seeing the carrier networks start to be more attractive than the MVNO and Google Fi options

                        Google fi is $20 for talk/text + $60 = $80 for 6GB

                        ATT Prepaid is $40 for 6GB and talk/text

                        AT&T also allows data rollover if you have a slow month. I end up using all my daa these days.

                        I setup a prepaid family plan with AT&T when I left Fi and this year they started a family plan...

                        Me $40 for 6GB
                        Wife $35 for 6gb
                        Son $30 for 6GB
                        Daughter $25 for 6GB
                        Daughter $20 for 6GB
                        Son $15 for 6gB

                        I get one bill, everyone gets their own 6GB and their own rollover and unlimited talk/text. After 6GB it just throttles.

                        you get roll over, even on prepaid?

                        I wouldn't use Hulu even if it was free... let alone pay for Sprint. I'm perfectly happy with T-Mobile.

                        I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime. All I need. I already have unlimited internet with T-Mobile.

                        And even TMo isn't unlimited, because at 22 GB, they throttle if THEY choose to.

                        Lol, I'm lucky to hit 3 or 4 GB a month.

                        then you are drastically overpaying. For TMo to be smart, they need to anticipate you to use 22 GB and charge you based that on that usage, instead of charging you based upon you real issue.

                        No, doing family plan. Its way cheaper than any other. But still, it doesn't work like that. The only possible way it could be cheaper is if we used less than 2 GB.

                        My wife uses a lot more than me, but still we'll never see the 22 GB limit or whatever it is.

                        This is me so far this month... the 2gb limit I have set is meaningless now that it's unlimited. However, if i do stay below 2gb, the bill is 10 dollars cheaper.

                        Now WiFi on the otherhand.... that's up there lol.

                        not exactly correct. In the current setup that TMo offers, you're right. But TMo could offer you a cost per GB plan like Google Fi does and you probably save something if not a lot.

                        In order to charge flat rates, many people have to over pay for actual usage to make up the difference for the those that use a ton.

                        Yup you get to carry over up to a full 6gb per line...

                        It’s a better deal than att retail service, and I notice the taxes and fees are never more than $3 or so per line.

                            Would very much like to see Google Fi do something here, not sure that the data prices are avail.

                            Trying to find where someone dropped a line about google Fi towers in google Fiber cities...

                              Or you could just go T-Mobile and get unlimited everything for a flat $70 per month, taxes and fees included.

                              Prioritization is actually 50GB with TMo, not 22.

                                Looks like you can get Netflix for free if you use T-Mobile, even if you're an existing customer.

                                  Prioritization is actually 50GB with TMo, not 22.

                                  Sure, if I don't want to use my phones. I actually tried that this summer for my Europe trip.. I signed up for service (new phone numbers - @JaredBusch ) and could only get service in 1 place I visit weekly in my home city.

                                  TMo was useless in most of my home city and home home.

                                    Time for me to look into prepaid. my bill can drop from $124 to $85 each after taxes.

                                    Or you could just go T-Mobile and get unlimited everything for a flat $70 per month, taxes and fees included.

                                          Is this weird? Any time I look to buy something I immediately assume it's before tax and S&H. Are most items in your part of the country listed including taxes?

                                            TMo has that taxes rolled in thing I guess?

                                            The only tax I seem to pay is sales tax. Hadn’t really looked before. It’s about 6%
