This is a bit misleading as it is the price per month for 4 lines! One line starts at $80/month. (Plans below are not the recently updated plans)
No, you'll have to manually switch to one of the updated ones. Otherwise nothing will change for you. As stated in the articles, there are trade offs that need to be considered.
I've been saying this for years. The prices on the "limited" data plans are absurdly high and most carriers have unreasonably few options if you don't want "unlimited." (Not getting into the "unlimited" definition debate... IMO all of the plans are limited, as a speed limit, or deprioritization, is still a limit.)Seems like there's a huge chasm right now between having a plan where you can be slowed down at any time, and 50-100GB of premium data. Where's the plans for people like myself who don't use more than, like, 6-8GB a month but want guaranteed data when we need it?
I wish we had competitive prices in Canada. The big 3 — Rogers, Telus and Bell — have a stranglehold on services and charge whatever they like.
In my case. I don’t see a trade off. I already get Apple Music. And one free year of Disney. So unless I am missing something. I would get to keep the Apple Music. Plus it looks like Disney, ESPN+ and HULU would be thrown in at no extra charge. With the get more plan.🤷🏻♂️
It is a great deal. Since the average consumer has to pay the retail price, if you opt-in to one of these plans, you get the aforementioned services for free to you.That's the point. They average it out the cost to them because not everyone uses it, but advertise it as full price to make it seem like a great deal to everyone.

I’m confused. So if my current plan includes Apple Music, I won’t loose access to Apple Music unless I switch plans?
I'm with ATT right now and I'm paying $66 total (with taxes and fees) per month for myself. That's reasonable. It's also their base plan, and they can slow you down at any time. No "premium" or "gauranteed" data as they call it.
I read their terms and conditions and it appears you can stick with your existing plan (Disney+ for 1 year and free Apple Music) or switch to the new Play More Unlimited plan. I'm assuming if you choose to switch to the new plan, you'll have free Apple Music for 6 months starting from the date you switched
I wish VZW and ATT were a bit friendlier with their single line plans. The plan prices always look good until you realize it's set to 4+ lines. You can add about $30-35 to each of those prices and that's what single line gets you.

Setting aside whatever "average consumer" means, some are subsidizing the cost of the extra services for others if those some don't need the extra services but are on Verizon. Bundling is good for those that need everything in the bundle, but generally bad for people that don't need everything in the bundle.It is a great deal. Since the average consumer has to pay the retail price, if you opt-in to one of these plans, you get the aforementioned services for free to you.
Yeah, I will just pay $23/month for Disney+ bundle and Apple Music myself instead of paying $10-20/month per line over competing providers.It still comes out to half your kidney when you add up all the taxes and fees..
