These new plans seem to be aimed at users who can’t get enough data. Now, both the Unlimited Gold and Platinum options come with unlimited premium data over Verizon‘s 5G and 4G LTE networks, promising you can stream and browse without hiccups – even in crowded areas. The plans also come with access to 5G Ultra-Wideband, which promises speeds up to ten times faster than your typical 4G LTE.
Keep in mind, though, that the availability and performance of 5G Ultra-Wideband can depend heavily on where you are. It’s lightning-fast, but its range is limited, and obstacles can easily get in the way.
We gathered insights into what our consumers are looking for, and that is blazing-fast connectivity, unlimited premium data, device credits, and more hotspot capabilities – so we are excited to bring those offerings to them with Straight Talk’s enhanced plans.
