The TMO 40$ Simply Unlimited Plan includes "Music Unlimited". Does Connect have this? Connect is not listed here: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/unlimited-mu...

$40 Simply Prepaid 10GB 5G & 4G LTE – Unlimited Talk, Text, Data All the nationwide Talk, Text & Data you can handle, with up to 10GB of 5G & 4G LTE for only $40/month, giving you high speed access when you need it most.

Comes with Music Unlimited so you can Jam all day without using your data on included services.

Music can be downloaded via WiFi for offline playback, rather than incurring a recurring cost.

If that's from some fine print I didn't read about Connect, that's just like not cellular data at all.

If someone is interested in a $15/mo plan, they are unlikely to pay a 150% premium for the "convenience" of music streaming, if they already have a phone with gigabytes of storage for high-quality lossless audio.

Those seeking non-neutral internet (e.g. zero-rating traffic from a handful of specific commercial partners, which pushes the internet towards a cable TV model, rather than an open web) have several choices.

This anomalous pricing was a government-required condition of the Sprint-Tmobile merger. Monthly data allotments will increase by 500MB each year through 2025, https://coveragecritic.com/t-mobile-connect-review/
