   To your point, the article (and others that I've read on Google Fi) agree   
   with you that Google Fi isn't competitive yet with the "Big Four".   
   - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint   
      
   The main reason I put Google Fi in that mix is that it's essentially   
   T-Mobile anyway - so it's really just another way to use T-Mobile's   
   network, with at the worst, the same coverage as T-Mobile.   
      
   While I have had most of the other big ones (T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T),   
   and while I'm new to the Google Fi concept, I think I have a handle on   
   Google Fi (thanks to your advice) that I didn't have just a few days ago -   
   and - while I also don't see Google Fi as competitive - the price certainly   
   is along the line of what you get with the others for a family of 4 with   
   unlimited talk/text and "some" data.   
      
   NOTE: The reason I say "some" data is that, unless the data is unlimited,   
   each plan has varying amounts and some allow sharing, others refund unused   
   data, etc., so, I can't put out an exact amount of data because all the   
   plans are different when it comes to data.
