I need to get a deal like you have. I have 3 lines. One smartphone, and 2 basic phones. Unlimited talk&test with 4GB. I pay $136 with Verizon.
You could ask the customer service if they have anything that would lower your monthly cost. Check if you can benefit from employee discount as well, if you haven't already.

Tip: call multiple times and confirm with multiple reps to see if their answers are consistent. I usually find that you cannot be confident in just one rep, they either get stuff wrong or blatantly give misinformation. For example, I was told my 50% discount on contract line will be until my contract expires, they somehow ended up giving me extra 3 months on contract for whatever reason. Also was told my promotion is to take immediate effect. Thanked her and called again for a different rep. She says there was an error and promotion wouldn't have started until my next billing cycle, it would initiate only because they attempted to give me and that was on the record. She activated it for me to be applied right away. Still in the dark about the mysterious 3 extra months of contract but I'm at least happy about getting 50% discount for a year.

T-Mobile doesn't have a 4GB data plan. How did you get it?
 
HMMMMM. Verizon since I'm a trucker and need the best coverage nationwide. I had 10 +5 (pay for 10, get 5 free)
and was paying 230.00 a month on two lines. When I told them that I was looking into going with straight talk, I was offered another 12 gigs for no charge, and no change in my contract. So, I couldn't pass up that deal.
 
Updated with new T Mobile family plan.
6 Lines for $210 per month with unlimited everything and 14GB Mobile Hotspot per line.

I feel like I'm being ripped off. So how are you getting 16gb for only $160 with 4 lines? I only have 2 and am paying the same amount for 12gb.
I got this plan when Verizon offered their "BYOD" plan to match AT&T's offer, I want to say it was offered in early 2014. It was 15GB of data for $100, then $15 per smartphone.

So that's $160 for 15GB, I got the extra 1GB as a promotion for preordering an iPhone 6. It was supposed to be for only a year but it's still on my account, so I'm not complaining.

However, I am looking into possibly switching to t-mobile as I can get 4 lines with 10GB data on each line for $120 per month.

Unlimited voice/text.
6 GB (3 GB plan, 3 GB promotion for a year).
I'm mostly on wifi and have all but stopped traveling, so I hardly use it. I now have 11+ GB with rollover.
Cost of plan is 65+tax, but I get a 15% discount, so it's typically a little over $60.
This is with AT&T.
I've thought about switching to T-Mobile but I'm worried about coverage.
 
After much to and fro with my cell provider in Greece (Vodafone), I am getting

1500 minutes to all cellphone networks / landlines (normally separate)
1500 texts
2000 MB internet over 4G/LTE
All "digital conveniences" as they call them (call recognition, voicemail, etc)

For 40€ / 44$ a month.
 
Sprint

We pay $93 after taxes, I have unlimited everything and she has 3gb

We are in the framily plan plus we both now are in the iPhone forever plan. Hers was 5 dollars extra and mine is 36 cents extra(Sprint CEO hooked me up on Twitter)

So ours is too cheap to switch plus we get really good service where we are, just wish it was a little faster at work. Some spots are slow in this factory.
 
I have a car payment Verizon bill right now

My bill is $400 plus

I have 5 lines on Share Everything unlimited minutes and text 30gb data plan from double your data promo - 22% employee discount
Plus 3gb for free until 12/10/17

2 iPads
2 iPhones pluses plus device payments at $35.40 each
1 iPhone 6s Plus with a device payment

1ipad, and all iPhones Aursion protection at $7.15 each

But I have 2 additional device payments for disconnected lines. My son made us go over data every month and decided he would go to Tmobile. At the time Verizon would still let you to continue to pay the device payment as long as you kept other lines. The second device line is my husbands who broke his phone and he didn't have insurance. Both deactived line device payments have less than 8 payments left.

After my device payments are over - no one will get a new phone under device payments except me

In the next 9 months my plan will greatly reduce - 3 device payments will be over - 2 for deactivated devices $105 reduction and 1 iPad line will be cancelled when it come off of contract in 9/27/16 - total reduction $115.

Can I do better on Verizon?

AT&T. I spend about $195/month for 128gb 6s+, 64Gb 6s+ through iPhone upgrade program, 15gb data, unlimited talk and text.
 
T-Mobile Prepaid, $30 per month for 5 GB of LTE, Unlimited Text, and 100 minutes of talk. I don't see myself switching away from this plan forever, it's a great deal.
That is a great deal, I wish I could get away with only 100 minutes per month. I suppose I could use something like Google Voice or get a number from Skype and use that to call people but that would be confusing to manage two numbers.
