    Depends on the game your playing online. I'll avoid pvp playing if my signal is weak. The lag alone would piss me off let alone the inability to keep up with others due to a wifi signal.


    Like Zeviander..updates/patches can suck trying to update. Course this also depends on the size of the patch/update. I just had to do a 8gb update...an no the gb isn't a typo.lol Between updates, netflix downloads, an other assorted crap my monthly usage is quite higher then 25 gigs.

    Good luck, an develop a lot patience. You'll likely need it dealing with wifi in a truck stop or where ever.

    I use Tmobile unlimited business class . So first off you wont be able to online game so squash that hope . I would stick with games you can play off line or single player games . I play games off of steam and Ubisoft while off line . For streaming to my smart TV or laptop it works great Netflix, hulu and sling is what I use .
    What a lot of ppl don't understand is your phone plays a huge role , new Snapdragon processors in newer phones have greater speeds as well as connectivity. The latest Snapdragon processors are almost 5glte fast and the phone carriers are ramping up towers and speeds , if you have a older phone you will miss out on the speeds and more robust connections. Also as a Business class you are prioritized in heavily congested data traffic areas . Good luck

    I dont know about tmobile but with verizon you can sometimes play some online games fairly well. My codriver plays call of duty and gta online without any lag a lot of the time.

    I just dumped Comcast at the house. I’m using my Verizon unlimited data plan for everything now.

    Only issues I've had with GTA:O with lag is when your racing others. Heists, running around causing trouble, other mission types...not really an issue. Racing though...you will never place, or finish the race if lag is to bad, or your racing others.

    Nice way to unwind from the day...blow #### up, shoot stuff, etc etc etc.

    I use a ZTE mobley connected car device. This time last year ATT was offering a $20 a month unlimited plan for them. I burn about 60 gigs a month streaming on a firestick in the truck. I also stream radio.com, TuneIn and music driving on my phone connected to it. Canceled Sirius.

    GTA 5 was probably the funniest game ive ever played so far. That Trevor character was just ridiculous... LOL

    I pay 55 a month for unlimited att with Wal-Mart 40$ phone so I can break as many phones as I want. I'm terrible with phones. Good service all around even in north Dakota and Wyoming I had decent 4g and they say after 22g they will throttle it during busy times but I haven't had any issues and I use a lot of data
