    I stream Google Music in my truck, and I have satellite. Overall, Google is better for music, but I enjoy the comedy and news channels on satellite.

    Can't believe I actually pay for radio now.

    Yes, when every thing you read seems to have a pic of a hot half naked woman holding a fish, I can see why.

    When you stream music, do you stream to your phone then bluetooth to your radio? I find that the sound quality sucks balls. I have sirius or xm or whatever the hell it is and I never use more than a few gigs a month in data on my phone so I gave up the unlimited gigs a while back to save money. I just don't ever see myself watching movies on my cellphone or streaming enough music to go past 10 gigs.

    I use Google Music as well. Bluetooth to my car and Bose portable speakers. Haven't had any sound issues. I actually think it is slightly better sound quality than satellite radio. I can't see me switching from Google Play Music. I am grandfathered in at $7.99 and haven't found any other service match the quality yet. I only have satellite have free trial when I start a new lease on my vehicle every 3 years.

    Exactly my experience. I have several different portable speakers that I stream to as well as my truck, all via bluetooth. Sound quality is excellent. @bhelmLSU , after your trial runs out, they will usually email a promotional price to you of $25 for 6 months. Well worth it.

    I actually have no idea how much data I use in any given month. Some months I'll hit 25ish, but some months I doubt that I hit 5. With the unlimited, i just don't worry about it anymore.

    A year ago, I stopped by my favorite restaurant/bar to watch the LSU football game. They didn't have SEC Network. I happened to have a spare Chromecast in the truck. We hooked it up real quickly and I cast the game from my phone to their tv. They had WiFi, but it was slower than my 4G, so I used 4G. Used a couple of gigs for that, but we all got to watch. Pretty cool. The bar owner comped my tab that night.

    I get a 20% discount because of my former employer, so my bill for unlimited data, talk, and texts, tax included is $82.78. Not too bad.

    Chromecast are great...I use them for what you just said...trips, etc...The new version has better range. I use Roku 3 in place of my cable boxes at home.

    After 40 minutes talking to AT&T, mostly on hold I still don't even have a price for the services I want. Does anyone have decent customer service anymore?

    If any of your phones are on the next plan you have to add each one of those monthly payments to the $180 price.
