If that's a concern, you should just go with T-mobile directly then. They have a $60/mo plan with unlimited data, incl' 50gb of high priority data. Fi caps out

If that's a concern, you should just go with T-mobile directly then. They have a $60/mo plan with unlimited data, incl' 50gb of high priority data.
Fi caps out at $60/mo (so 6gb), after which you get unlimited data for "free". However, you only get 15gb of high priority.
I think Fi is trying to take advantage of the Google brand to sell MVNO service at a crazy markup.

- RealityWinner 5y agoThat's still $30 a month when other MVNOs will give you 4GB for $15
- pkulak 5y agoThe difference is that Google Fi runs at the top network priority. You can find loads of dirt-cheap MVNOs, but your data is at the back of the line if there's any congestion.
- bogwog 5y agoWhat are you going to do with 1gb of high priority data per month?
- pkulak 5y agoGet my vaccination card at the entrance to a stadium. Messaging, email, access my NAS at home through my VPN. Download a podcast or audiobook. I mean, the answer to that question is literally "anything except watch videos". My car has an "unlimited" plan with AT&T, and holy crap, it's worthless. If I actually need to do something, like, now, usually I have to turn off my phone's wifi if the car's on. And this isn't me modifying my behavior. If I had a habit of watching YouTube or Netflix from all over the place, I'd get a different phone plan. I'm not like penny pinching here. It's just that my current phone plan works, I like how easy it is to administer, and switching providers in a huge PITA for a family of 4, so something else better be damn good.
