AT&T Prepaid

Unfortunately, them's the trade-offs. How much data do you really need per month? Do you really need at least 2 GB?

And have you looked at the dozens AT&T MVNOs to see if one of them has a plan that fits you? There's also a trade-off associated with MVNOs, as they don't get LTE either, but since you're going to be using a Verizon iPhone 5 anyway, it's not much of a difference. Speed is usually capped around 3-5 Mbps on 3.5g.

As an example, H2O Wireless gives 3 GB for $60, 1 GB for $50, and 500 MB for $40.

Well, I do a lot of streaming. I can stream anywhere from 2 GB a month to 7 GB a month. I don't download or tether often. Once in a while, I'll tether my laptop to do some browsing and every so often to watch something on Prime or Netflix. Other than that, that's about it. I'm thinking I could make do with 2 GB of data as long as I put all of my music on my phone which I don't want to do hence the point of the cloud and streaming it!

Yeah unfortunately 'streaming through mobile data' and 'budget conscious' don't go together

Something's gotta give. You'll have to choose one or the other.

Tmobile sucks unless you live in a big ass city. I've had lte for a while now and the fastest speed ive gotten with my note 2 is 67ms ping 37,438kbps down and 17,828 upload that's pretty good and I have LTE signal where i live and work. The inside building signal is terrible however due to the frequency that they use.
