I have the 5 lines and will be changing plans, I guess the cricket core will be $125 but how much is the cricket more (Unlimited plus mobile hotspot) for 5 lines?

None for my family so far. Here's a good reddit article about prioritization policies for nvmo's.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContra...riers_and/

According to this, Cricket's 10gb plan is at a higher priority QCI 8, while the base unlimited plan is at a lower priority at QCI 9.

I'm intending to switch to Mint, and I am kind of glad that their priority is QCI 7 which is same as metro.

That's great information. That priority policy should be on the cricket website.

So there might be a good reason to get the more plan. Faster better internet. $25 vs $32 plus hotspot? Thoughts?

IMO, unless you need hotspot, you probably won't need it. If you are deprioritized, it is probably by AT&T customers, and not other Cricket higher tier customers.
