Not true, I have the $30 plan with a Nexus 5 I bought from the Google Play store. I get 4G LTE speeds no problem.

I'm on the verge of doing the exact same thing. On that plan are you able to use any of that data for tethering or mobile hotspot? A customer service rep said you can use all of your "up to 5GB" 4G data for tethering if you want, but I found that a little hard to believe.

Tethering is not officially allowed, you have to spend another $15/month for it.

It's possible to tether anyway, but YMMV - it's through workarounds like using only HTTPS, setting up a VPN, or changing your desktop user agent.
