move to wireless

[riptides]

I have reached the point that I need to wireless. I have been looking at the offered plans and find them confusing and misleading. The voice is not so much a problem but the data is a different story. I need loads of data to keep with my current activities. I have found that in the wireless business "unlimited" does not have the same meaning. With Verizon unlimited means as long as you keep buying 2 gigs at a time it's unlimited. Virgin unlimited means first 2.5 gigs then less then dial up for the rest of the month. AT&T and Sprint are similar. My reason for going this direction is that the phone company refuses to replace the ancient phone lines, every time we get a hard rain the phone goes out and the DSL goes to a crawl. I call them and they schedule 3 days or more by that time the line has dried out and the technician tells me that nothing is wrong. That is why I am asking for advice on which wireless carrier to go with, I have a tower close by so according to the coverage maps I have 4GLTE but with the limits what good is it?

Do you have a history of your past data usage? Perhaps your pattern of use will fit under the allotments?

I know that it gets cut in speed after the allotted volume of data, they never told me what the amount was just that it got kicked back. Does not matter with T-mobile any ways their 4G is very limited in area. Only some very small areas mostly near the city according to their map, I am in a 2G only area with them. 4G with Verizon AT&T and Sprint according to the coverage maps any ways.
