You basically pay 20 more per month on Verizon than other carriers. The Pixel also is not worth 650 so it depends on how much you want the phone.

Unless you think that 5mb down is unacceptable, total wireless is the only way to go with Verizon

Yeah, I looked at that recent T-Mobile offer to buy out your Verizon contract and it just wasn't worth it since I'd have to pay like $20/mo more for the service.

I sure as poo poo wouldn't spend retail price on a device that would be rendered obsolete in about 5 months.

Seeing how a large portion of people in the US are still on the big 4 and don't know there are other options, the Pixel is absolutely the best phone a user can get, especially if it's at $10/month for that deal. Heck it's the only phone you can get through a carrier, you'd have to buy it outright to bring it anywhere else, which it's also worth btw.

A Pixel for $240+2 years of phone bill would probably be worth it, but doing business with Verizon for two years absolutely would not.

Verizon are kind of special, though I am probably unreasonably holding a grudge from my landline days of yore, when their response to "the phone line is lying in the road and the junction box is ripped away from the house, I am literally looking at it right now" was "duuuuhhhhh, everything looks fine on our end".

Smythe posted:Google Fi has been very win for me. Google Fi isn't a wireless carrier though. It's an MVNO. It's an expensive one at that if you use more than a handful of gb. Anything more than 5gb and you should be on T-Mobile proper (it's not like having Sprint network grafted on is winning you any significant coverage or throughput.) Google Fi is great if you are in a very low usage range. But it's also just using two of the four carriers in the US so you aren't really escaping them.

Who are you getting that from? My point was more that people don't want to pay full price for devices and that pre paid providers are still relatively uncommon with the general public. Heck I've told people they can save sometimes thousands in a year only to have them scoff at paying $500 once.

T-Mobile Simple Choice plan. I'll admit it's a sweetheart deal but honestly I've found with at least TMo you can usually get one.

Thermopyle posted:It makes me angry that TMobiles coverage is so poo poo around here. The maps all show we have coverage, but when you use an actual device it's crap. It seems you really have to drill down to the street level map on T-Mobile's website and heed the legend and only look at verified customer data. At a county level T-Mobile looks great around here, drill down and you see that a lot of it is only "good" coverage which has lofty promises of reception in "most homes and some big buildings." More damning is the highways corridors in Western PA which mostly only have "fair" coverage which means reception "occasionally indoors." I'm not really sure how occasional indoor reception even qualifies as "Fair" rather than poor, but ok. Another good chunk of area (like the whole drive to my sister's house) requires a 1900mhz compatible phone and t-mobile doesn't list the Pixel as being compatible.

hooah posted:What advantages does a Chromecast have over Plex + a PS3? You can cast any random video from virtually any video app on your phone to it, with no separate app to setup, no clunky PS3/4 interface to navigate to find the video etc. Guests can use it too. With the right app you can stream any web video too. Downside is that your family can't use it with a simple remote, have to use a phone to control it. It's probably not the ultimate solution for Plex, but that works fine too. n.b. Chromecast 1 is buggy and crashes / locks up sometimes. I now have an ultra too, and it's been much better.

I switched to T-Mobile recently and it's perfectly fine, but I came from Verizon and Denver is notoriously lovely for cell service either way, so take that for what you will. It was an extra $12 a month to get unlimited everything + insurance on our phones compared to the 8GB of shared data we had before. Worth it. (Also not worth being on a Samsung device anymore.) On Chromecast chat, the 2nd gen owns and it's even cooler if you have one of those new Vizio TVs with Google Cast built in. Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jun 2, 2017 |

I liked my Chromecast but it puts a notification on every Android phone (device?) connected to the same network. If somebody dismisses this notification it actually ends playback on your TV/whatever so you're at the mercy of everybody else

All the areas I live and visit are well supported by T-Mobile, so that's what I use. I pay $65/month flat for unlimited everything, 10GB tethering, and HD video. And if I use less than 2GB of data that month, I get a $10 credit. Hopefully their plan to roll out the 600 MHz spectrum by 2020 holds fast. That should help a lot for their coverage problems.

I finally got over myself and bought a g5+ to replace my slowly dying n5. It is indeed cool and good. I do miss my lollipop blob people though. See you in heaven, little dancer blob. Still hoping to get O someday and be able to restore them to their former glory.

nimper posted:Yes it does They have failed to make this clear since the moment they rolled it out. I was sabotaging other people's playback because it appeared as though I was inadvertently casting something, so I shut it off. They really ought to add a confirmation dialog or at least some sort of indication that your device isn't going haywire and that someone else is casting on the network. It's not exactly a stretch that you may be sitting on a network that you don't exclusively control.
