Yeah I'd say the only negative is that I don't really use a whole lot of data, so I have a bunch left from when they switched pricing (which never expires), but I likely won't use the minimum amount that comes with the annual plan now (150 GB, but rolls over for one year).
I've definitely changed to not be stingy on data though, like watching videos or streams on data now that I have so much.
Ya, people at the lowest end of data usage, like 1 GB or less per month and that had loaded up on the biggest data package for the lowest rates are paying more on renewal, and aren’t really benefiting from all the extra data they hadn’t used yet. Those with more moderate/high usage though(maybe 5+ GB/month) are likely paying less on the new plans. I know for me the plan is significantly cheaper than my original one and I get a lot more data available. They also rolled the 911 fees and unlimited calling/texting into the base rate so that makes it a bit cheaper than just comparing the base membership rate. Maybe some particularly heavy users are still further ahead on other carriers “unlimited” plans, but I know even when I had an unlimited plan paid by my employer, I rarely used more than 10 GB/month which is still less data than Lüm’s current cheapest plan.
