I highly doubt the $70 is truly unlimited. The $60 plan has a (pathetic) 5 GB limit, yet for $10 more I can download, say, 50 GB worth of data? Yeah, right…

Metro is, in my opinion, a joke. Perfect for someone who just needs a cheap voice plan and texts. Data on the other hand… run away. Run far away. Reports show speeds on their LTE being in the 700 kbps range. I mean.. my AT&T Edge is faster than that…3G brings it up to about 5 mbps and H+ gets almost to right under 10 mbps. LTE I’m at 40+. That right there makes the extra cash worth it to me. Someone who wants a serious smartphone and a serious data plan needn’t even look at Metro.

Metro PC’s is trying so hard to keep up with all the other carriers!! In a min they are going to have limits on local calls!! Everyone can’t afford Sprint & T-Mobile etc… that’s why metro pcs came out. Now they getting big headed! They gone lose customers ..

Ok good point. Still that data limit for an LTE connection isn’t going to last a month.

250MB on LTE? You could literally burn through that in minutes. Let that sink in..minutes. For $40? How is that even legal? That is nearing international rates.
