I'm on Gen4, I have the 50/50 plan, but I pay $114..... Why would that be?

Lease fees, taxes, and anything else added on, look at your monthly bill if you need to know more.

    Yea, mine is $101 and change after lease fee and taxes. So......maybe higher taxes and/or add on services like Express Repair.

     

    Still, would pretty much take a "grandfather" deal for me to switch. Even then with a lot of folks saying their usage seems higher on Gen 5 doing exactly the same things, I'd have to think hard about it.
