    The unlimited plan is $145.00 / month and a $199.00 sign-up fee. About the only thing it has going for it is that it is multi-carrier. I'll stick with my $25 / month Visible plan.

    Visible uses Verizon towers.. Verizon towers are FULLY emergency power backed and most have multiple internet feeds (Cable. fiber and other)
    Making them the most reliable.

    Most other (non-verizon) Towers have battery back up some have multiple internet paths but if power goes out for days on end. Tower shuts down.

    T-Mobile 55+ is 55 (or less I think it went down) and though they do "Throttle"if you use too much data I only hit the cap the week my wife died and I was sending E-mails and faxes all over creation.

    The multi carrier appeals to me. I do carry 2 cell phones from different companies.

    Both mine have unlimited data--one with throttle at 100 gigs and the other at 150 gigs.

    Cost is more than the plan, but sadly not available in Canada.

    To be clear, Visible is a division of Verizon.

    I use Calyx Institute for my wifi needs..  I got the mifi 2000 5g hot spot and truly unlimited, non throttled internet for $500.00 per year.. That is $41.00 per month and I can link up to 30 devices on it at 1 time..  I stream all my TV/movies with no issues. The ONLY downfall is that you NEED cell signal for it to work
