$20 per month with $10 per gig up 6 Gig with a burst over to 15 gigs.
Minimum of $30 per month, that's expensive?
I generally use 60-100GB/month. Yes, that's expensive! If you plan to use WiFi as your primary TV source, Yes, that's going to be expensive.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

Data is free after 6 gig. This is right off the Google Fi website. I do not know if they throttle data.

The Google FI site is a bit confusing and possibly misleading. Under the $70/month plan it says unlimited data but....
"Unlimited data High-speed data up to 22 GB/person & slower after. Video may stream at DVD-quality (480p)."
The $20/month plan (+$10/GB max $60 more) does not say anything about speeds or limits.

Does anyone have experience with using Google FI?
I have Visible (which uses the Verizon network) as my main internet hotspot because it is cheap and truly unlimited. Google Fi is on my primary smartphone and serves as a backup hotspot because it connects calls and data through Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and various wifi networks. Between the two of them that covers all of the top five US cellular networks except AT&T.
I'd say I use Visible more than 95% of the time. Every once in a while I'll have poor or no signal on Visible and be able to use Google Fi instead. More often, if one isn't working then neither does.
