![]() Optimum Mobile is in a similar boat, with a single line starting at $45 a month and four lines running $30 per line per month for its base unlimited plan. If you have more than four lines, each additional line at Xfinity is $20 per line per month (additional lines at Spectrum are $30 per line per month). At both cable companies, that rate drops to $30 per line per month for two or more lines (so two lines run $60 a month, four lines are $120 monthly). Expect the value to vary: Spectrum starts at $30 a month for unlimited while Xfinity's plans start at $45 a month for a single line. To get these deals, you need to have an internet package from the respective provider. Xfinity Mobile and Spectrum Mobile each use Verizon's network while Optimum uses T-Mobile. Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile and Optimum Mobile could be options, depending on where you live. ![]() Verizon now offers a similar 30-day "Test Drive" program, while the Cricket prepaid service has its own trial program that lets you sample parent AT&T's network. ![]() You could also go to a carrier's store and see if they offer any free ways to try out the service before switching over, such as T-Mobile's Network Pass. If you know any friends or family in your area that already use the carrier you're considering, ask about their experience. It's quite possible that, a decade ago, you left a network complaining about its sparse service, but now it's been beefed up because of that race to acquire customers. While your mileage may vary, the good news is that these networks are growing and improving all the time, particularly as the three major players continue the race to blanket the US with 5G. T-Mobile's service in New York may be excellent, but if you're in rural Iowa, Verizon could be more reliable. The US' complex geographic variables make it hard for us to give a blanket recommendation of any one carrier.
