Consumer Cellular Unlimited for 1 Line: Is It Worth It?

Consumer Cellular's 50GB plan for 1 line costs $50 per month.

It rides on the AT&T network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 50GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 128Kbps. You can use up to all 50GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.

The Consumer Cellular 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.

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