Cricket Ditches Data Speed Caps, Adds 5G to All Plans

Oct 29, 2021, 8:00 AM by Rich Brome @richbrome

Cricket made two major changes to its prepaid plans today, bringing them in line with the competition in two important ways. First, Cricket is removing the cap of 8 Mbps on 4G LTE download speeds. Second, the company is now including access to 5G on all plans at no extra cost. Previously, the artificial speed cap applied to most Cricket plans; only the priciest plan ($60/month for one line) included 5G and was exempt from the speed cap. No other US carrier has implemented a blanket speed cap quite the way Cricket did. Other US prepaid brands already include sub-6 5G with most plans at no extra charge. Cricket's plan structure and pricing is otherwise unchanged, starting at $30/month for 2 GB of data, up to $60/month for unlimited data and premium features like mobile hotspot, cloud storage, and HBO Max. Multi-line discounts can bring down the cost of certain plans to as little as $25/line/month for unlimited data. Cricket also announced that it has reached 12.4 million subscribers, an increase of two million over the past two years. Cricket is a brand of AT&T and uses the AT&T network.

Ditching data speed caps

I always thought data speed caps were unnecessary. I am proud of you, Cricket. I have my whole family on your Network and convinced my fiance and His whole family to leave Verizon and get on board. You deserve the extra 2 million customers I heard that you gained, probably by doing this. Great job!!!
