HD streaming on a phone is a waste of bandwidth, you can't see the difference on a 5 to 7 inch screen....
There are definitely people that need more than 5 gigs, but there are plenty (probably even a majority) that do not. If you need more than 20 to 30 gigs then Visible's $45 plan is the way to go, 50 gigs of prioritized data followed by unlimited de-prioritized, plus unlimited mmWave data. Hotspot is capped at 10 megabits/sec but still unlimited data.

Last month I was home all month, on WiFi, still pushed about 26gb?
Like it's not a great thing! It definitely doesn't make me cool or better liking. Haha. I am just the actual outlier for plans like this and I am, unfortunately more lately than not, a Google lock-in since the Nexus 4. Have the 6 Pro, skipped the 7 because it wasn't worth the upgrade, same with 8 Pro since I need the biggest model they have and even with trading in a phone and random deals it was always still like $700 min.
The reason why this COULD be attractive to someone like me is the upgrade for the summer (even though my 6 Pro in all the betas is pretty much the same software as the 8 Pro) and then use it as the trade up for the 9 Pro in the fall and get the most value for it to know off the 8 Pro which will still probably come out to ~$700 again but it is what it is.

For me my 5G is plenty, rarely go over 1 gig and when I travel I use windscribe's 10GB free VPN so I can use hotel wifi etc. I don't watch much video and all my music is stored on the phone. Plus with referral credits I haven't paid for service for 3 years now, so pretty hard to beat.
For those that use 1G or less (or even a couple gigs), US Mobile is really attractive. They have verizon and T-Mobile and it is $6 per month if you pay yearly for 1 gig and I think additional gigs are like $5.
