Ah ok. $50 plus taxes and fees (how much does that add?) for 50 Gb data
seems expensive. What happens when you’ve used the 50 Gb “premium” data? Do
you get a very slow connection? 
I pay the equivalent of $19 in the UK for 50 Gb data and free European
(note European, not just EU) roaming with Vodafone. Call and texts are
unlimited. There are cheaper providers with various trade offs, eg poor
rural coverage or a congested network.
