re: Time To Switch? Verizon's New Plans Cost More But Offer More Too

Google Fi is hard to beat if you travel internationally a lot. They give you 256 kbs in 120+ countries for $10 per GB(same as in the U.S. except no throttle at home.) That's enough to do everything, albeit slowly, except stream video. In fact even YouTube will work on the lowest settings.

Another almost as good option for international travel and an all around better option than Fi if you use a lot of data at home is T-Mobile. They give you unlimited free 128 kbs data almost everywhere in the world along with high speed in North America for free. They are also giving free highspeed data in Europe this summer.
