Spectrum Mobile

[keithpollard]

I just received an offer from Spectrum mobile for a mobile plan with unlimited data for $45 a line which is a lot cheaper than the equivalent AT&T service.
Is anybody out there using Spectrum mobile? If so how do you like it?

Looks like they use Verizon towers based on the coverage map, but would like to confirm that.

Keith, read the fine print! It might say unlimited data, but they probably slow you down after so many gigs of usage per month.

Read this.
After 20 GB per line, you may experience reduced speeds for the rest of the bill cycle.

There are no additional fees for using your device as a mobile hotspot. After 5 GB of mobile hotspot data use in the bill cycle, mobile hotspot speeds are reduced to a maximum of 600 kbps for the rest of the bill cycle. Mobile hotspot data counts toward your 20 GB high-speed data allowance.

It does use the Verizon system of towers/antennea.
They do not, however, include roaming data in Canada (Like Verizon does on their unlimited plans). A big thing for us, living on the Canadian border.
