AT&T PREPAID now has an online only offer of the 8GB plan when prepaid $300/12mos, comes to $25/mo + Taxes & Fees. Its actually a 360 days plan with each Month being 30 days.

This includes tethering and roll-over of unused data for the next 1Mo cycle, i.e. only the next-cycle.
There seems to be a $4.99 (+ tax) additional price for the SIM.
Price-wise its not that great a deal but I'm hoping to get top-notch data-speeds as compared to other plans from the MVNOs. Can people with experience with AT&T Prepaid service please comment?

Video Streaming: Stream Saver® is included on this plan. Stream Saver allows you to save data by streaming higher definition video at Standard Definition quality (about 480p) on compatible devices (unless the video provider has opted out). AT&T will activate it. You may then turn it off or back on at any time at att.com/myprepaid. Stream Saver will not recognize all video content. Ability to stream and video resolution may vary and be affected by other factors. Rest's apply. See att.com/streamsaver for details.
Sponsored Data: Sponsored Data is included in this plan. With Sponsored Data, you can browse, stream, and enjoy content from our data sponsors on a compatible device while using the AT&T domestic wireless network without impacting your monthly data balance. Turning Sponsored Data off doesn't prevent access to data or any content. It will result in high-speed data usage being charged against your plan data. A high-speed data balance is required to initiate a Sponsored Data session.

I understand there are taxes and other surcharges that Cricket may not charge, but lowest Cricket plan is $30/month, and it only has 2GB data.
Only thing is this is essentially a 1 year contract since you're prepaying for 12 months.. but only $25/month.
I'd like input on how to handle next year when this 'teaser deal' price for first timers goes up to (I think) $50.00.
If there is anything useful to know in advance to either stay with them at a lower price or move along (to Mint or RP or H2O, etc) please share.

Was this during checkout? TX here and no taxes were charged on the plan itself, just taxes on the $4.99 SIM card

I may go for the Mint deal offer $15 a month w/ 12gb data. Only for 3 months is the drawback, don't feel like hunting another deal after 3 months lol

When I had cricket, I would have no signal when I drive out in the boonies, since roaming isn't an option with cricket or most mvno providers.
