Metro PCS - Major Changes

Kids, the new plans on Metro by Tmobile start today.
Biggest gotcha is only 480p, HD addon is $10. 480p streaming sucks, no matter how much lower the price.
@ $60(@$70 upgrade from 480p) you get free Google One & Amazon Prime.
I'm on grandfathered $50 Unlimited, so these plans not attractive--even paying Prime separately. I would guess ditto for those on the old $60 Unlimited.

GOOGLE DATA IS NOT Counted (towards your plan's data limit)

Just noticed, on one of my kids' line [2gb]- the data counter does not move when updating in the PlayStore and syncing Google.
Not true anymore this past month, seemingly. And deprioritized speeds have been glacial, surfing and apps are almost unusable.
Or could be a temporary glitch, as conversely on the Unlimited Plan phone the Metro app seems to be counting very little of the data: for Hotspot it is counting several GB, BUT for Total it's only listing a few MB.
