I have a couple of questions about t-mobile's unlimited data plan.
1: How much data is the t-mobile unlimited* data plan?
2: How good is the coverage from t-mobile?
Should I make the switch from Att to Verizon, I am concerned that ATT will only have unlimited 3g plans, and only tiered LTE plans. Also what are the pros and cons of Verizon and Thunderbolt?
Guys, I will be getting a new Moto G LTE edition next week, and I want to use it on the T-Mobile 30$ unlimited text & data & 100minutes talk offer from WalMart.
My question about that unlimited data is if it offers LTE at all .
(I read 250MB of LTE before but they changed things with the new 40$ plan which I don't want because of no data after using the 500MB of LTE)
If not, then I wonder what speeds would we get on HSPA+ in it in big cities (Boston here).
Does anyone have any info?
Just thought I would pass a long that verizon prepaid will add 4g lte data coverage to their prepaid plans and its listed that they will allow all lte smartphones including ones that you own from out of contract post paid plans. This is a big deal because those of us that are in weak service areas only covered by verizon can now on the 17th get a prepaid plan and have 4g lte data and not be stuck with poor 3g data like now. There are posts on the net about this, there is a link to one below.

Hey folks, well i'm with metropcs currently and thinking of switching to cricket - metropcs offers a 60/month unlimited data plan, cricket offers 60/month with 10 gigs high speed. i am wondering, after one has used their allotted 10 gigs high speed, how slow is the data throttled, can anyone report? Metropcs would be ok but the signals not too good where i live, among other factors.
thanks!

2G speed
if you currently have unlimited connection even with "not that good" coverage, it's not a good idea to change to cricket

I live in Georgia and cricket is a good service. I can get signal almost everywhere that my Verizon gets and plus with the new Verizon teer plans this is prolly a better deal.
I have a friend who uses Cricket. He uses it because he's in a large city and gets decent reception, but as someone else mentioned, the data speeds are not that great. I don't know if they're 2G or what, but he is always complaining that his phone is taking forever to load. So it all depends on what you're using the phone for mostly. If you NEED fast data, might need to look elsewhere.
As far as I know, new Cricket plans use the AT&T network. I seem to recall reading they cap 3G at 4mps and LTE at 8mps within your data allowance, and drop you to 2G speeds when it's up. New MetroPCS activations use T-mobile, and I don't know anything about throttling practices. I know nothing about either the old Cricket or MetroPCS CDMA networks or plans. If you do have a CDMA device on Metro, it will stop working soon if it hasn't already as T-mobile decommissions the CDMA network.
