Just curious if anyone has any insight if a more expense plan would be worth it or not. Currently on us cellular and I’m on the basic plan. See attached for screenshots. Would they be faster?

You will need to ask yourself a question if the current plan is limiting you in any noticeable way? if the answer is no, then I would not bother changing anything.

More expensive <> faster.

Will need to read the fine print for the plans, specifically, if/when does the provider limit bandwidth. Made up example: if all plans limit bandwidth or downgrades a video stream in high congestion areas or if you've hit some soft cap, out of luck no matter how much you paid.

It looks like from the descriptions you’ll get 25G or 50G of premium data with the higher plans. So in times of heavier congestion where they can throttle your speed on your basic plan, you wouldn’t have that slowdown. Unless of course you go over the allotted premium data.
