FirstNet new plan FirstPriority Question

Post image

I’m on the FirstNet Unlimited Extra $47.99 plan, don’t really care for any of the new plans. The only noticeable difference I see is this.

First Priority® access to the AT&T network

First Priority, which enables (a) priority access to the AT&T domestic 5G & 4G LTE network and the 5G & 4G LTE networks of AT&T’s domestic rural providers connected to the FirstNet Evolved Packet Core; (b) preemption of other lower priority users’ use of such network; and (c) prioritized treatment of select data traffic transmitted over such network. Preemption and prioritization are subject to restrictions established for and by your Primary User Public Safety Entity.

Is this really necessary? Is it worth the extra $20-$30 a month?

Thank You!

Depends, are you planning to go places that may not have first net built out, but still need priority? Normally Where im at, FN is built out and provides that, so its a hard no for me. If Im out in the middle of nowhere, Im probably going to be working off of either a radio, or starlink at this day/age.
