Had to add this - there's a good German table tennis player at the Olympics named Timo Boll:

I am keeping one of my T-Mo prepaid line, $30/mo with unlimited data ... really, it's 5GB of 4G LTE data/ excess is throttled - and 100 air-time minutes plus SMS - on an unlocked Nexus device, tethering not blocked (use it when out of faster/stronger/better WiFi signal range) - use it to forward calls to Hangouts but do make those occasional domestic (USA) cellular calls but stay within the allowance, mostly.
Now, if Project Fi would price match it

It shows lowest plan to get stash is 6GB but you have it on a3GB plan? Was that a even older plan?

I'm in total agreement. For the past 10 years we've had a family plan with 4-lines, currently including 3 lines each with 2.5.gb of data, 1 with unlimited data, calling abroad from USA (TMO stateside international promo for $10/account), and 2 cellular data for iPads with limited of 200 mb/month. Total bill with tax $150.
And, FYI, if you ever switch to another plan, your Stateside International promo rate disappears.

I did speak with TMO CS this morning and confirmed current existing plan is grandfathered as long as I don't make any changes to it. And it's no longer available to new users, sorry!

edit: I was able to call and get the CS to add more lines without changing the family plan.

Data and phone plans in the US are extremely overpriced. Probably related to the oligopoly of carriers.
I just checked the "Unlimited Everything" plan in Holland with T-Mobile.nl You can get it for €105 per month.

, however you still can call in and get the CS to add more lines for you. I just did that.

For what it's worth, the cost per GB has gone down in the US. I remember a couple of years ago when it was still $10/GB in the US across all four major carriers (Australia was ~$5/GB in comparison); Verizon's XL plan for instance now works out to $5/GB for one line.
The downside of course is that it's still pretty expensive if you don't need much data.

My current T-mobile plans add up to $3/GB/line.
Most months, I don't use anywhere near that, but when I need it, I really, really need the higher limit.
