I investigated this a year or so ago for a hobby project. The best cheap option I found for non-trivial amounts of data in the US was T-Mobile's $10/month plan, which comes with 2GB/mo of high-speed data, and throttles down to roughly 64kbit/sec after that.
- el_benhameen 7y agoI thought about something similar. T-Mobile based MVNOs have pretty good pricing, too, so maybe I'll do that.

- teraflop 7y agoYeah, that would be an option. But IMO the biggest downside would be that they charge for overages instead of throttling. If I'm working on a hobby project that involves uploading data, and something gets into an unexpected state, it's easy to imagine it transferring tens of GB in a matter of hours. In that event, I'd rather have it restricted to dialup speed (which is still enough to transfer 20GB/month) than get hit with hundreds of dollars in bandwidth charges overnight.
- tehlike 7y agoProject fi caps the bill at some number.
