The ZTE Zmax Pro is a MetroPCS-exclusive. That costs another $10 per month to lift. Paying up for MetroPCS's $60 unlimited plan adds 10GB of LTE hotspot data, but you still have restrictions on video streaming. You also can't tether with MetroPCS's $50 plan, whereas T-Mobile One gives you unlimited hotspot data, albeit at 3G speeds. There are some caveats, though: as with T-Mobile, you're restricted to 480p resolution on video streaming. Families who want unlimited data see more modest cost savings at MetroPCS.įor Individuals: MetroPCS's unlimited data plan costs $50 a month - $20 less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. (Previously, MetroPCS's cheapest plan started at 1GB, but the carrier has boosted data allotments as part of a promotion.) MetroPCS's plans for individuals cost less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. In contrast MetroPCS offers four plans, ranging from just 2GB of LTE data to an unlimited offering of its own. MetroPCS's unlimited data plan costs $50 a month - $20 less than what you'd pay at T-Mobile. A newly unveiled variation on that unlimited plan should appeal to seniors: T-Mobile lets anyone 55 years and older get two lines of unlimited data for $60 a month. A $10-a-month add-on lets you stream video at HD resolution, among other benefits, while a $25-a-month package throws in unlimited international calling to landlines and mobile numbers in select countries. T-Mobile offers a lone plan: a $70-a-month T-Mobile One plan with unlimited data. That's not to say that MetroPCS customers won't find themselves deprioritized at some point, but in our experience, the speed gap isn't as noticeable as it is with other Big Four carriers and the mobile virtual network operators that piggyback on their service. In some of the testing spots around the country, in fact, MetroPCS even outperformed its parent company. T-Mobile had a average download speed of 23.5 Mbps nationally, compared with 22.1 Mbps for MetroPCs. Still, when we did our own LTE speed testing, we noticed minimal difference between T-Mobile and MetroPCS. T-Mobile does reserve the right to prioritize traffic for its own subscribers when there's heavy demand on its network: In other words, MetroPCS customers may face slower speeds if there are lot of other users tapped into T-Mobile's network at any given time. But there can be limitations on just how much MetroPCS customers benefit from T-Mobile's network.
