Boost Mobile Unlimited+ for 1 Line: Is It Worth It?

Boost Mobile's 40GB plan for 1 line costs $50 per month.

It rides on the AT&T, T-Mobile, and/or Dish networks for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 40GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 512Kbps. You can use up to all 40GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

The Boost Mobile Unlimited+ 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, so your grand total is just $50 per month.

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