this is pretty good. They actually have usable data speed when you use up your 10GB of priority data:
Unlimited Data: After using 10 GB of Premium Data, continue enjoying unlimited data with consistent, reliable speeds tailored for continuous use at 1mbps speeds.
I have 4 lines of their really old unlimited plans and 1 6GB pool plan and they've all worked well. Considering this to replace the 6GB pool plan that is similar in price, but it does include hotspot and this flex plan does not.
you can buy hotspot on the flex unlimited plan for pretty cheap but its just 5GB/month
"Hotspot Access: 5 GB/month on annual for $30/yr."
edit: i might have talked myself into switching my pool plan. Looks like i get 10GB priority data and 5GB hotspot for 180+30=210, so $17.50 per month, including all taxes and fees. That's 0.50 less per month than my 6GB pool plan at is hard capped but includes 6GB hotspot.
I also like the ability to switch networks with ease (TMobile and Verizon now, ATT later this year)
"Network Transfer: bounce between Warp, GSM, and eventually Deathstar with just a few clicks."

I am on this plan (I think), and I got an email today from U.S. Mobile about their "latest innovation." I'm not sure how it's different from current plan. I cannot tell any differences. $180 per year, U/L talk and text, 10GB of premium data, ...
1 Mbps is more generous than pretty much any other plan that throttles you after your data limit, but still feels a bit scummy for them to market this as "unlimited" when it's really a 10 GB plan that's still pretty usable for basic needs afterwards.

This one isn't hard capped at 10gb and gives you usable throttled data access of 1mbps thereafter. So it's better

The other difference is a lack of hotspot on the new plan. ($30/year for 5gb/month of hotspot data ). On the old one the 5gb/month hotspot data is free.
I talked to customer service yesterday to ask to be changed to the new one, but gave up after I heard this info since sometimes I hotspot from my phone. Customer service was willing to transfer me to the new plan though.

I'd be interested but the lack of hotspot is a dealbreaker for me.

Nobody here is going to compare this to Mint's standard $15/mo 5GB plan without the hard data limit or pool? I've been using PayPal Credit to pay for it over 6 months with 0 interest, then get 6 months no payments. It's been very doable for us.
Also Mint includes taxes and fees in the $15, here it's extra. Mint includes hotspot, here it's extra.
the US Mobile plan also includes taxes and fees. So same price and comes with 10GB plan with no hard cap.
both goods plans. I like that US Mobile can be either TMobile or Verizon, and soon ATT. I especially like the idea of being able to switch networks
"No worries at all about switching networks – it's totally free, whether you're on a monthly or annual plan. You can switch whenever you like, even in the middle of a billing cycle
Right now, if you try to make the switch from your end, it will prompt you to make a payment for the new plan. But no worries – drop me a DM or reach out to our support, we'll sort it out.
Oh, and just a heads up – we're working on making the process seamless and completely self-service with our Network Transfer option (coming next month 😎). You'd be able to transfer networks without having to pay for the plan again."
