Need network advice

[The Hustleman]

I'm leaving t-mobile due to **** poor service.

I'm planning on going with either At&t direct, or one of their MVNO's.

What I need is 2gb of data and LTE.



I was looking at the following

Straight talk (but I heard they don't allow a lot of normal stuff)

Aio
Gophone
Net10


Anyone know if there are any limitations or anything else that could ruin my experience?


Thanks in advance

I just switched to straight talk and I know they throttle after 2.5gb of data use and that you also can't use it to tether, however speed wise so far has been plenty fast for me. I'm not familiar with any of the other carriers.

Could always go with Aio.

I saw where ATT was offering some new pricing recently. Not sure if that would make a difference to you.

They limit their LTE to 8megs

I saw Gophone packages for 60 a month, may check into that

I've known too many people that got put off of straight talk to comfortably go with them. Plus they don't allow streaming

Have you looked into Walmarts plan? They offer unlimited everything with throttling after 5gb for $45 a month.

Which plan are you referring to?

When do you need more? Name your daily tasks and or needs and I can tell you if you need more than 8 Mbit.

This one.

Family Mobile - Walmart.com

It says T-Mobile, but there are some areas that use at&t. Its a prepaid option so you could always try for one month and switch if it doesn't work for you.

Also, the plan is $39.99, I though it was $45.

I download a lot. I like the most speed as possible.

Well your options are limited then.. Most of those sub networks will give you only so much then throttle you a ton so you wouldn't be able to download much of anything .

And I was mainly just asking what you do so we could also gauge the best option. Are you downloading large files or streaming content etc.?
