Next up are the plans that hover around the $20-35 per month to give you 1GB to 1.5GB of data per month. Keep in mind some of these are billed every 28 days, and don’t even include unlimited calls to out of network numbers.
To put those plans in perspective, our Starter plan gives you fully unlimited data at speeds of up to 2Mbps, so you know you’ll never run out. Of course, it’s not the right speed for everyone, but it’s our cheapest plan, and designed for essential connectivity for things like music, maps and chat apps.
At around the $35-50 mark are the 3GB+ plans, and we start to see ‘endless’ data plans. 3GB is still only 1.5 hours of HD video. Or, if you end up with an ‘endless’ data plan, you’ll be slowed to an unusable speed after you reach a certain GB allowance.
Imagine you’re stuck somewhere with no wifi, but you’re using your mobile to stream the big game live. There’s only a few minutes left, your team gets the ball, they’re about to score, and then- BAM! It’s the buffering wheel of death. You exceeded your data limit and you’re now being slowed to an agonisingly slow 1.2Mbps. The match might not be over, but your viewing of it certainly is.
