T-Mobile Prepaid's 8GB plan for 1 line costs $25 per month.

It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 8GB of high-speed data per month. The data is shut off after you reach your high-speed allotment. You can use up to all 8GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 720p quality.

It is worth noting that the T-Mobile Connect 8GB plan includes priority data. Having priority data means you will get slightly faster data speeds during times when the cellular network is busy, such as at sports games, concerts, or during rush hour traffic.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $2.89 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $27.89 per month.

Overall, I recommend the T-Mobile Connect 8GB plan because it is a good value.
