Is Cricket 5GB Worth It for 1 Line?

Cricket Wireless's 5GB plan for 1 line costs $30 per month.

It rides on the AT&T network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 5GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 128Kbps. Unfortunately, you do not get any hotspot data with this plan.Video streams at 4K quality.

The Cricket 5GB plan has deprioritized data. Having deprioritized data means you may temporarily experience slower speeds during times when the cellular network is busy. You'll resume getting the fastest speeds available when the network is no longer busy.

All taxes and fees are included in the price, so your grand total is just $30 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Cricket 5GB plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
