MetroPCS Launches Unlimited "Everything" Plan for LTE

MetroPCS Communications Inc announced a "promotional" $55 4G LTE service plan that offers unlimited domestic talk, text and data, for $55 a month

The $55 price tag is for a single connection and families can get this offer for $50 per month on the their second, third and fourth connections. 

MetroPCS already had been selling such unlimited "everything" plans, but there generally were bandwidth consumption buckets that allowed unlimited use of data but on a rate-limited basis. 

Some will say MetroPCS is responding to the AT&T and Verizon Wireless shared data plans. Others might argue MetroPCS is simply trying to halt a slide in its customer net acquisitions. 

The deal is described as promotional, so it is not clear whether the plan will be retained as a "permanent" plan.
