Is it cause of coverage, download speeds, was it cheap, did you trust them more, do they have some bonus on top of phone data, or was it just what your family had and you got it too?

T-Mobile because we're grandfathered into a $100 unlimited everything plan. We could go cheaper and such, but for now it's okay.

Same. I pay “$70 a month” for my unlimited plan from them. Because it’s part of a family plan it only actually costs $30 a month more.

Yeah, I know recently, they've been trying to move peeps over from these GFed plans to their current Magenta, and that failed spectacularly as fuck (damn that was Oct '23?!). From what I can see, outside of 5G, it's the same, just ~$20 more. Le sigh.

I already get 5g which doesn't make any sense to me. Like there's one place I can go to and consistently and easily get gigabit download speeds. It would have literally just been paying more for the exact same service. The only up side would be more hotspot data.

Yeah, and for me, 5G is a moot point. I have a decent wifi network at home (get 300-600mbps on 5G wifi), and my workplace has a reasonably okay wifi system too, albeit they firewall a lot of social stuff because work things. Outside of a random road trip for podcasts and maps use, I don't see my needs changing anytime soon. As for the other person on the plan, they are WFH and almost purely utilize wifi anyway.
