Background: I have never owned a mobile phone so I am a mobile phone newb. I live in the Seattle area.
Anyways, it seems some plans (e.g. T-Mobile) you can get unlimited data, but only a set amount depending on the plan (e.g. 5GB) at fast speeds and anything over and above at slower speeds. Are the slower speeds painfully slow?
While prices continue to drop we are cheap skates ($20 for our landline with long distance, caller ID, voice mail, call waiting) so I am curious how "good" the prices are for a mobile plan with a good data package. I tend to use a lot of bandwidth at home (streaming movies, working on websites, gaming, etc.) When we go mobile we may likely drop the land line and go with 2 phones for me and the misses.
