Nice. Myself, I did not see price drops -- I've been paying ~ $100/mo for cell phone plan (5GB data) for some years now -- 3 years at least maybe 5 years or more.

In the US?
I pay a total of $180 a month for 5 phone lines unlimited data on each + an iPad, unlimited 512Kbps tethering on each + 10Gb of high speed tethering on one for my son who uses his cell phone for his only internet. This is with T-mobile. They also throw in a family Netflix plan (4 simultaneous streams) with it.

Canada. Looks like unlimited cell data plans are not a thing here, at least not yet.
But the price of cellular data has come way down. For instance when the iPad was first introduced, it was only available in the US on AT&T and was $25 for 2Gb of data per month. Now I'm paying an extra $20 a month on T-mobile for unlimited data for my iPad.
The cellular iPad wasn't even worth it for me until I could get unlimited data for $20. For that amount the extra convenience of not having to tether and basically having a second phone is worth it since you can get and receive regular phone calls to your paired cell number from an iPad even if your phone is dead.
