I just got a notice from Consumer Cellular that our data allowance has been upgraded from 2GB/month to 5GB/month at no change in cost (still $20/mo). Looking at their web site, they now offer up to 20GB/month for $40/mo. Of course that's only the data plan.
We're paying the same price now for Unlimited voice and text plus the 5GB/data as we did 7 or 8 years ago for 250 minutes (not sure on text) and 400 MB/mo data, after periodic upgrades over the years. Though it's now $15/mo for a line ($20 for unlimited text/voice), we're still at the previous $10/mo per line (with AARP discount), so no increase in cost for us.
We've been happy with this, and it's still more than we ever use, even though we have two lines using the same data. Granted that other folks' needs vary, but this is our experience.
