Remember, a critical part of Google Fi is that it's supposed to automatically switch your voice and data to WiFi, and that Google has rigged partnerships such that they have lots of WiFi available for you to use.
So, if you currently use 5-10 GB/mo on one carrier, the theory is that you'll use less - possibly significantly less - on Google Fi.
That's SIGNIFICANTLY different from what you can see reported about how you manually configure the WiFi you have used today.
- ewindisch 11y agoExcept I've had to turn off that feature on my phone with Google's Fi service because public hotspots aren't necessarily reliable and can result in missed or dropped calls. Also, there is the whole security issue of connecting to public APs automatically.
- livingparadox 11y agoThey route everything through a VPM when connecting to the public APs. So it prevents that security issue.
- starnixgod 11y agoI've had the opposite problem, Fi will drop and black list public AP's on me if they are moderately slow or have high latencies.
