AT&T here - about $180/mo for 5 lines with unlimited talk/text and 10 gigs shared data. We go through usually 7-9 gigs a month, so that has been plenty for us. I like the shared data too because the heavy users on our plan change month to month, but I don't have to worry about assigning allotments to each line.
I've been with AT&T since 2001, except for a 2 year stint with sprint a couple years ago. I tried out Sprint, but they sucked - both on coverage and customer service. Since returning, I've been very happy with the service.
The trick with the new AT&T family share plans is that you get a substantial discount on the plan if you aren't using a subsidized phone. The base bill is $100/mo for the base data/talk/text plan and then $15/mo for each line on that. If I were to buy a subsidized phone, that would up the bill to $40/mo for each line. In lieu of this, I bought a galaxy S4 off ebay for ~$200, took it to the store, they gave me a new sim and I was all set.
Regardless of which company you go with - ask about an employer or group discount plan. Most companies offer something along this line to many employers, universities, alumni associations etc.
