- Terr_ 3y agoYeah, I recently switched service and prepaid a full year. Not just fewer surprises, but often cheaper. I still live in a kind of dismayed disbelief at how much money the major cell-phone carriers want for plans they consider normal/budget. This seems to be because they include what is (to me) a crazy amount of cellular data, amounts I'll never use because I don't stream full-length movies on the bus or whatever. For context, a major local network's "essentials" plan costs $60/month for 50GB of "premium" mobile data and unlimited not-so-premium data. In contrast, a reseller's prepaid plan (on the same infrastructure) comes out to $15/month for 5GB (5G speeds) and a 4gb trickle (LTE) after that. Since I'm always near Wi-Fi and almost never exceed 2GB/month, it's a no-brainer.
- Shank 3y agoThe biggest issue with being on an MVNO is that your data priority is below all other customers. It’s not even that bad most of the time, but if you go to a congested area like a concert you’ll definitely feel the speed decrease.
