New 75 GB plan
How many folks plan to move up from the 50 GB plan to the new 75 GB plan? I had not heard of this before, but I will be getting this new plan. Is this plan of limited availability? I heard o...
There is another thread with details.

"The new plans include 50% more data than the previous plans."
So it sounds like the 50GB plan becomes the 75GB, and I suppose 30GB becomes 45GB, 20GB becomes 30GB, and 10GB becomes 15GB.
The change is happening starting February 1, 2022 and they are sending notices 30 days before, so I think I just received the notice a few days earlier as my plan rolls over sooner than most. I thought it might be just certain beams because I heard of the special NY plan, but it seems to be everyone. I thought I was getting something super-exclusive for a little bit -- heh heh
I don't like the wording in that, what so ever... Depending on the price increase, it may cause a lot to jump ship.
Infrastructure costs have surely gone up... Though, it seems this is a change of contract, hence the 30 day notice they are stating... This means even newly registered users can freely jump ship with no ETF...
What throws me for a loop is, I am on a VERY old plan, a 5GB Gen4 Choice plan, so is there going to be a 7.5GB plan, that's only $5 more? Or am I going to be seeing a $20 or $30 increase?
I can afford $5... Maybe $10... But if this bumps me to the next plan tier entirely, then I might actually have to abandon ship regardless of my status... Food is hard enough to afford right now :\
