The 128kbps downstream throttling is too slow? Don't care about uploads? Activation fees are too confusing? Late fees are too odd on prepaid? AT&T network sucks? Or maybe you're missing the $2.25 in mandatory monthly fees from being a regular part of your monthly phone bill diet?Ĭheck out /r/RokMobile, a third-party MVNO with Verizon-based coverage, offering unlimited 256kbps, with 5GB 4G LTE, for 49,99 + 2,25 = 52,24 USD/mo.

However, do note that some desktop web-pages nowadays may average 4MB as per, which would take 8 seconds to load at 4Mbps or 4 seconds at 8Mbps (which is 1MB/s, after you convert the bits to bytes). See for an idea how much video takes but 8Mbps should be sufficient even for 1080p. How much is 8Mbps or 4Mbps? For comparison, /r/TMobile's /r/BingeOn throttles all video traffic to 1.5Mbps, which limits Netflix and YouTube to 480p. A set amount of high-speed usage is offered each month as part of a data bucket (e.g., 2.5GB 40$, 5GB 50$ or 10GB 60$), subsequently, all downstream data gets throttled at 128kbps downstream after your original data bucket is exceeded (unlike on T-Mobile, the Twitter uploads do still work on Cricket Wireless even after the throttling, since the throttling is only applied to the downstream traffic!). See for frequency details for each network.Īll data plans include 4G LTE access (throttled to 8Mbps), HSPA+ access (throttled to 4Mbps) and UMTS, and GSM/EDGE access.

Note that GSM/EDGE is in the process of being completely shutdown by 2017, and may already be refarmed to HSPA+ or LTE in some spectrum-constrained regions. Service is offered over GSM / EDGE, UMTS / 4G HSPA+ and 4G LTE networks. Cricket Wireless, formerly Aio Wireless, is an AT&T-owned AT&T MVNO.
