"T-Mobile will never change the price you pay," the carrier told users in 2017.

I’ve had the same T-Mobile family plan since…I actually don’t recall. 2011? $25 per line for 4 phones. It was 2GB of 3G data per month, with a promotional bump to 4GB that they kept extending until it was permanent, then LTE data, then 50GB of LTE before it throttles down. It’s plenty fast, so no real need for 5G speeds, especially since most activity is on our home WiFi.

I love bitching about internet speed but I am glad mobile Internet is not a scam here where I live. Costs me 0.8 cent for every GB approx.

America and Canada look very terrible from my perspective.

Is that $8.192 per TB then?

$0.008 * 1024gb

That seems high? My friend blew through 40ish TB last month but pays $200/mo.

Unfortunately, if you are a mobile data monster it is still expensive since there is no true unlimited plan here.

But most people nowadays only consume Instagram and Tiktok.
