Is Verizon Unlimited Welcome Worth It for 5 Lines?

Verizon's 500GB plan for 5 lines costs $135 per month.

It rides on the Verizon network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and unlimited high-speed data per month. Video streams at 480p quality.

The Verizon Unlimited Welcome 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.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $26.75 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $161.75 per month.

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