Its a great service in that regard. I've traveled the US fulltime including remote camping and hiking with Fi for a year and it did great.

The plans are a bit expensive and I don't like how when you run out of unlimted data it becomes unusabley throttled for even basic browsing.

This new plan is a complete disappointment because I was often torn between the $20 + $10/GB (too expensive per GB IMO) and the $70 for 22GB 'unlimited'. Now they offer $60 for 22GB but no tethering. I'd rather have the old unlimited still and I was tired of guessing which months I'd have little data use so I could switch to a cheaper plan. Many times I guessed wrong and paid $80. Other months I picked unlimited and used only 1.5GB.

I like Fi. I like how easy it is to manage via the app. Changing plans is easy, e-sim is great. I think i'm switching to visible or mint though after a few years of Fi. $10/GB doesn't make sense and $70 unlimited is just a bit too uncompetitive despite Fi being a nice provider otherwise.
