Is Gen Mobile 16GB Worth It for 1 Line?

Gen Mobile's 16GB plan for 1 line costs $40 per month.

It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 16GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 128Kbps. You can use up to all 16GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at quality.

The Gen Mobile 16GB 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 Gen Mobile 16GB plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
