Consumer Cellular 10GB for 1 Line: Is It Worth It?

Consumer Cellular's 10GB Shared plan for 1 line costs $35 per month.

It rides on the AT&T network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 10GB Shared of high-speed data per month. The data is shut off after you reach your high-speed allotment. You can use up to all 10GB Shared of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

The Consumer Cellular 10GB 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.

Overall, I do not recommend the Consumer Cellular 10GB plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
