I use it, and for me it was kind of magical: i traveled to singapore and then turkey in about two months, and didnt have to think about anything. It just worked. Sometimes the network was slow, but i think it was because of local network. Then the reality sipped in. I had to switch to a local network. I was doing work on laptop, and had to hotspot to laptop. It is impressive to see how much data day to day work consumed. 10$ per gb was too high. I could get local data plan for 1.5$/gb. I think i consumed about 20gb over the course of the trip. I guess for what it is, google fi is pretty impressive. Except that 10$ could be a bit prohibitive for certain use cases. Disclaimer: im a google employee. Edit: changed the data plan cost (to 1.5$ from 2.5)
