Is this better than T-Mobile grandfathered simple choice plans?

seems like the cheapest way to get a plan with smart watch service. Taxes and fees extra is a big detractor though.

Google Fi plans need to be compared to the "Lightspeed" plans on USM since both use the T-Mobile network. The $199/year plan on USM is Dark Star (AT&T) only with restrictions on how much time you can spend off that network (34 total days during the year, if I recall correctly).

Unlimited Starter with USM on Lightspeed is $22.50/month when paid annually ($25 if paid monthly) vs. $25/month (paid monthly) on Google Fi for the Unlimited Standard Plan via this deal.

On USM, you get 10GB hotspot and 70GB high speed data before a 1mbps throttle. USM runs at QCI 7 on the Lightspeed plans. Taxes & fees are included on all USM plans. Smartwatch plans are separate / extra on the USM offering.

On Google Fi, you get 25GB hotspot and 50GB high speed data before a 256kbps throttle. Google Fi runs at QCI 6 priority (meaning your data is prioritized above USM users, T-Mobile essential plans users, and all other T-Mobile MVNO users). That matters when the network is congested, but doesn't matter when it's uncongested. Taxes & fees are extra on all Google Fi plans. Smartwatch plans are included on Google Fi offerings.

Ultimately, the plans are different enough that which one is "better" depends on what each user needs. If you need more total highspeed data or want a lower price, USM is the better option. If you need more hotspot data, prioritized data, or smartwatch compatibility, Google Fi is better.

One size does not fit all in this case.

I wouldn't port back to Google Fi if it was free. The customer service is sooooooo bad. I returned a phone for exchange under warranty and they sent the wrong phone back. I had to blast them on social media to get any type of help. It took months to get it all sorted out. We're on US Mobile now, and my one interaction with customer service was great.

dumb question, is this prioritized data?
I'm using it for last 6 months and its been awesome! I get consistent 5g speeds over 600mbps down and 70 up. so it didn't bother me much.

Whoops, I upgraded to pixel 10 pro. I could have got this deal plus the deal to cut down the price? I guess I'll wait until next year and see if they're doing any new phone credit deals
