The following has been confirmed true, and the post has been updated with new information.
Rumor has it that Cricket Wireless will launch a new promotion next Friday, July 21, for those with multi-line accounts. Â The promotion will match one that was just launched by MetroPCS, get 2 lines of unlimited LTE data for $80/month. However, Cricket Wireless will be reducing the data speeds on the unlimited plan to just 3 Mbps.
Cricket Wireless's current unlimited LTE data plan does not actually contain any data at true LTE data speeds, but rather has speeds limited to 8 Mbps. Â Priced at $60/month for a single line, or $55 with auto pay billing enabled, the plan also includes unlimited talk, text, and global texting as well as full service roaming while traveling in Mexico and Canada. Â Despite already having its LTE data speeds limited to 8 Mbps, Cricket Wireless may temporarily reduce your speeds further during times of network congestion if you consume more than 22 GB of data in a month.
