It's WAY over-priced, and the data limits are ludicrously low.

8GB for $60/month, 15GB for $110/month.

And if (when) you exceed that limit, it drops to dialup-speed, which SHOULD be illegal.

128 or 256kb/sec should be the MINIMUM speed to which they're allowed to slow (shape).

Speed is acceptable most of the time.
