Fi hasn’t been competitive in many years anyway. You can get more and faster data for cheaper.
Honestly depends on location
Where I live, all the towers are Verizon (same signal as Google Fi) and US Cellular, and it's cheaper than both
Verizon has prioritized traffic so other carriers get faster speeds than Fi over the same network.
I'll have to disagree here. Not only is the base plan for Fi cheaper, by a landslide, than any alternative I have, but it's also flexible. On top of that, they allow me to pay 0$ extra when I travel, on both calls, and data. That alone is a gigantic selling point to me, because it eliminated any need for temporary local sim cards
Yeah with fewer features and extra bullshit like not being able to tether, no intl coverage, no wifi calling etc. I have yet to find a real replacement for fi.
