Updated: Cricket Wireless Launches Promo Featuring 2 Unlimited “LTE” Data Lines For $80

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.  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.  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.  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.
