Cricket Wireless offers four prepaid plans starting at $30 per month for one phone line. If you aren’t a heavy internet user, you can get by on the 5G plan, but if you use a lot of data and travel frequently, the Unlimited + 15 GB Mobile Hotspot plan is a better fit.

Compared to other mobile broadband providers like Verizon and T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless doesn’t have the fastest speeds nor does it offer 5G home internet. That said, it surpasses its competitors for sharing the same network as the top-ranking mobile broadband provider, AT&T. Cricket Wireless is a cheaper, prepaid alternative with no contracts or hidden fees.

Cricket Wireless Internet Speeds
Mobile broadband service is typically slower than residential internet services such as cable and fiber. Cricket Wireless download speeds vary but average between 1 Mbps to 50 Mbps on the 4G, LTE, and 4G LTE networks. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), Cricket Wireless operates on AT&T’s network but doesn’t have the same robust features, fast speeds, or enticing smartphone deals.
