βaffected by the price hike will be able to call up to change their plans to newer T-Mobile offerings, but they wonβt be able to opt out of this increase.β
I'm pretty they can opt out of the price hikes with a little effort.
I went to Google Fi after being with T-Mobile for 14 years. Google Fi uses the T-Mobile network and I've had zero issues since.
Not a fan of (in this context) how Google handles their products. They have a history of killing a product or degrading it to oblivion. There's even a dedicated site for this. I just don't trust them to keep this going, so I never went to them. Plus, other MVNOs, like Tello, have unlimited plans on the tmo network for $25. The same plan on gfi is $50.
For what it's worth I've had Google Fi for eight years. My bill has never increased, and we have unlimited data. I'm on a plan with my wife and her dad and we pay 167 per month for all three lines including insurance on two phones (12/month total). We are in an area with 5G coverage, it speed tests between 100-300 Mbps generally.
Sure they could kill it at any time but π€·π»ββοΈ
...but, until they do, you're enjoying it. I get it, and I completely support you (not that it matters that some internet stranger supports you, but they do). There are definitely cheaper options out there, but if gfi works for you and you're happy with it, then more power to you, and I hope the service lasts forever.
