I have been extremely satisfied with the service from my MVNO. I am subscribed to the bottom-tier plan, with 500MiB/mo of data. I currently pay the bill monthly through electronic BillPay.
If I ever go over my data cap in a month, I will be automatically upgraded to the next tier plan. Here's the catch: my current plan is grandfathered, and no longer available to switch back. Once I "accidentally" upgrade, I'll be stuck there.
No big deal, right? It's another $5/mo. Well, guess how much the AutoPay discount is?
- paxys 3y agoWhat MVNO gives you 500 GiB/mo of data?
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoEr, sorry, MiB.
- paxys 3y agoYeah, thought so. I'd personally go through that in an hour. MVNOs are great but only if you barely use the service and don't care about getting throttled at peak times.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoMy usage patterns are quite miserly. I rarely go out, perhaps once a week. When I do, if I feel like I need constant connectivity, then I activate Battery Saver and Data Saver first, then Mobile Data. Basically I only use text-based web pages while I'm out and about. No streaming audio or video or downloads. I suppose there's not a lot going on in the background polling, either. Of course I hop back on WiFi wherever possible, my ISP makes that easy. I've been doing this routine for at least a year, and I have warnings set when I'm up around 480MiB. I've never gotten a cap warning, although I've had a few warnings that "Chrome has used more data than usual!"
