Pricing: $55 for data that isn't slowed

$55 all-in with taxes included, and the only Metro tier where data is premium: no 35GB or 50GB threshold, no slowdown at any usage level.

The extras are smaller than they used to be: 100GB of Google One storage, HD video, a 25GB hotspot, yearly upgrades and $5 watch and tablet lines. Metro no longer lists Amazon Prime, so the case rests on premium data at $55.

Choose it if

✓You use a lot of data and want it never deprioritized
✓You want HD video and a 25GB hotspot without leaving prepaid
✓You tether seriously; 25GB is the largest allowance Metro offers
✓You want HD video on cellular
✓You're adding a watch or tablet at $5/mo

Skip it if

✕You're price-sensitive; the $30 tier covers ordinary use for half the price
✕You never get close to 35GB, so data that isn't slowed doesn't help you
✕You'd rather have Verizon or AT&T coverage
✕You never approach 35GB a month

Final Verdict

7.8/10 · Metro Unlimited Premium

Metro's best plan and the only one we'd call genuinely strong. Premium data that never slows is rare in prepaid at any price, and at $55 with taxes included it costs less than most carriers charge for the same. The 25GB hotspot and HD video close the gaps that make the cheaper tiers frustrating. If you're going to be on Metro and can afford it, this is the tier worth having.

Consider instead: Visible+ Pro Plan. Visible+ Pro is the closest equivalent on Verizon's network, premium data with a large hotspot, if T-Mobile coverage is weak where you live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Metro Unlimited Premium really unlimited?

Yes, and it's the only Metro plan with premium data. There's no 35GB or 50GB threshold after which speeds may drop. Metro notes it may still be slower than T-Mobile's own customers during heavy congestion.

Does Metro Unlimited Premium still include Amazon Prime?

25GB: the largest in Metro's lineup, against 8GB on the $50 plan and 10GB on the $30 web-exclusive tier.

Does the Metro Unlimited Premium plan stream HD video?

Yes. HD streaming can be activated on a capable device; every other Metro plan streams in SD.

Are taxes included in Metro Unlimited Premium?

Yes, and the rate carries the five-year price guarantee on talk, text and 5G data. The first month costs $60, then the AutoPay rate applies.
