Which carrier are you lining towards?
I've been extremely pondering the same thing but I've noticed all the other carriers throttle as well. and as for lowest price with 2.5gb of data, boost wins at $40/month. I think boost does actually give the best bang for the buck. I've been thinking possibly getting on t mobile family plan to match the price but that would mean buying 2 new phones. So I think I am going to stay with boost, but I don't like sprint or their service so idk... I'm thinking I'm going to give this s3 to my wife and get me the s5 (her phone has been having bad sound issues and is hard to have a conversation, so I get to upgrade)
So... what's your opinion on where to go from boost?
I called T-Mobile and inquired about service and such, they are basically like boost now these days, you buy the phone out right, and go month to month, no contact. Only way you are on any sort of contract is if you decide to go with paying for the phone on payments, then you are on a payment plan until the phone is paid off plus the monthly fee, after the phone is paid off you are then on a month to month basis . A scenario would be if a phone is say $400, I plop $400 down plus tax and then pay a normal monthly fee, no contract .
I will say boost vs T-Mobile.......boost offers better data plan.... Tmo = $60 for 3gb, boost mobile = $60 for 5gb. On the flip side of that T-Mobile does offer a much better phone selection than boost does.
In short boost = better/more data plan and T-Mobile = better phone selection.
Boost however does not offer shrinkage anymore at all unless you are grandfathered in, but at this rate they may cut that to sadly.
So there you have it a comparison of boost vs T-Mobile. Hope this will help some decide what they want to do.
I personally may switch over to T-Mobile, simply because boost seems to be choking us out of benefits over other services, they just don't offer much of an incentive anymore. With t-mobile I can at least go a nexus 5 right now and be month to month still.
At the moment though I am sticking with boost simply because I have only had this phone for 7 months or so, so it is fairly new, that and I and I am grandfathered in with shrinkage.
I haven't inquired about other companies, so I can't vouch for others, only these two.
