I've been using Gosmart mobile for the past couple years. They are basically the budget arm of Tmobile. You can get a plan with unlimited talk, text and 3gb of 3G data for $40 a month including taxes and fees. $35/mo if you use less than 1gb of data a month. I've been using the $45/mo plan with 6gb of data but I'm about to downgrade as I don't even come close to using that.
I know they have all these advanced carriers with LTE that can stream at a rate of 20Mbps+ and rivals cable speeds. But I just don't need any of that shit. I don't watch movies on my phone, and if I did, I'd do it over wifi anyway. The biggest bandwidth resource I use is Spotify and youtube and both seem to work adequately over 3G.
There are some pretty good deals out there if you need data but aren't a data hog either.
