Tech journalism veteran Rob Pegoraro has done [1]the yeoman's work of documenting those data upgrades. He covers both the big four carriers (really three now that T-Mobile has purchased Sprint) and also prepaid and niche carriers like Google Fi and Straight Talk. I've used almost no cellular data in isolation, but if you're burning through it, perhaps because it's a better option than broadband for some reason, check out Rob's guide to make sure you're getting all you're entitled to.
