T-Mobile has announced a limited time promotion offering two lines, each with unlimited talk, text, and 6GB of LTE data, for $80 per month starting April 8. T-Mobile does not charge access or data overage fees, and instead limits each line to unlimited 2G data once the LTE data included has been used.
As a comparison, Verizon charges $100 per month for two lines with unlimited talk, text, and 6GB of LTE data combined -- not per line. The cost breakdown is $60 per month for Verizon's "large" 6GB data bucket, plus an access fee of $20 per month for each smartphone line. Data overages are charged at $15 per GB.
As with all Simple Choice plans, the two lines will both have access to T-Mobile's unlimited video and music streaming incentives Binge On and Music Freedom. Data Stash also allows unused LTE data to roll over for up to one year for no additional charge. Other perks include Carrier Freedom and Mobile Without Borders.

Edit: Here's an image ('http://i.imgur.com/HMGSGYg.jpg') that is a size comparison. So if you get a carrier that covers that whole area, lets talk about pricing then.
For me, T-Mobile's lower cost simply isn't worth it yet. Even with their enhancements to coverage, they're still far behind AT&T and Verizon in my area (Metro Atlanta) in terms of consistent, reliable coverage. T-Mobile's coverage only gets worse according to their own map if I hit the road and travel virtually any direction from Atlanta unless I'm staying within 10-15 miles of an interstate or major U.S. highway. They're improving, certainly, but they're not where they need to be yet for me to consider switching, personally.
