I pay $99.98/mo for 3 lines with unlimited talk and data, including 5G data and a smartwatch with cellular access - that includes taxes and fees, on the Verizon network. That's $29.99/line + $10 for the smart watch. No way in hell I would pay $100/line.

Ah, we've got a misunderstanding; you're right at the average. You've got a cell phone plan, with multiple lines, that's $100/month. Not $100/line, $100/plan.
Looks like it's up since my number, too.

Spectrum Mobile, you have to also be a spectrum internet customer. Before them I was on Visible (also Verizon), which was actually cheaper due to party pay but it was so heavily de-prioritized as to be unusable pretty frequently.
Until you add the $20-30 in taxes and fees they don’t show on their pricing page.
“Regulatory Charge”, “Admin & Telco Recovery Charge”, “Gross Receipts Surchg”, and “Fed Universal Service Charge”, and that doesn’t even include the state/local ones; they’re just Verizon’s set.
