My AT&T iPAD prepaid plan has been rock solid and as advertised. I don't abuse it and download TBs of data and it's been treating me well. I pray it stays that way because T-mobile is completely screwing me over.
I have 2 separate T-mobile SIMs - one through AirWireless and another postpaid T-mobile and both have been aggressively throttling. This is a complete 180 from what they used to do for years ago before they acquired Sprint where AT&T was my backup and T-mobile was my primary.
I am starting to look into Cricket to increase my AT&T exposure because of this.
Now I have NEVER used Cricket before but since the AT&T iPAD prepaid plan is long gone, I'm wondering how you all recommend Cricket in an area with great AT&T coverage?
If I wanted to use Cricket for data (I don't mind buying phone plans at all either):
1. What is a good plan to use? I have ATT compatible phones, modems - any and most ways to extract LTE out of towers, so device selection isn't an issue for me
2. Are there some Cricket specific shenanigans I should know about? I think they default to deprioritized traffic and that's fine as the only living beings miles around are the animals in the corral.
Do you all recommend Cricket in an area with great AT&T coverage?

Re: Do you all recommend Cricket in an area with great AT&T coverage?
Appreciate the link.
My concern with Cricket Wireless is that they can't seem to ever make up their minds about whether they want to support hotspot users or not.
I want something boring and dependable like the AT&T iPAD prepaid plan.
Which is what attracts me to Cricket Wireless phone plans with LTE. Those have been fairly consistent over the years so I am wondering if anyone here has experience using them first hand.

mtnchar, Thank You,
I ordered this yesterday and it's supposed to arrive today.
1. Have/Do you use this personally?
2. Is the first 22GB is "postpaid priority", and then the traffic is deprioritized or it's all "prepaid priority"?
