Optimum Mobile's 20GB plan for 1 line costs $45 per month.

It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 20GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 512Kbps. You get 5GB of hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

It is worth noting that the Optimum Mobile Unlimited plan includes priority data. Having priority data means you will get slightly faster data speeds during times when the cellular network is busy, such as at sports games, concerts, or during rush hour traffic.

Overall, I do not recommend the Optimum Mobile Unlimited plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
