Compared to the two major primary service providers in the United States; Verizon and T-Mobile, AT&T has some of the best prepaid plans. It’s best package is a $50 a month unlimited plan which only gets slowed down when there is congestion. Other providers intentionally slow or deprioritize once a certain limit is reached. This makes AT&T the best provider among the two.
AT&T provides 4G LTE and 5G wireless infrastructure to Mobile Virtual Network Operators(MVNOs) like Cricket, Consumer Cellular, FreeUp Mobile and more.
