fYI on the coverage map app when doing a speed test Verizon is cheating by giving priority to your speed test vs others. I get zero data when trying to load a web page or using OOKla but when using the speediest on your app it'll be 1-3 mbps. just something to look into because carriers shouldn't be cheating the system like this.

@darknexus6720 Ай бұрын

I think it's a bit ridiculous that you're paying over $60 for the At&t and Verizon starter plans and those are still deprioritized?!

@kevindao1103 Ай бұрын

Once you have 3+ lines, in most scenarios having a postpaid plan makes sense. Since you qualify for rate plan discounts that prepaid plans may not offer. Example: I have 3 Lines on Verizon. (Work, Personal, and Family use) With 3 Lines plus a $30 Autopay Discount, I also was blessed by Verizon to receive a $25 Plan Discount for the perpetuity of the plan on top of that for having 3 Lines. Making it more feasible to stay on Postpaid. For now.

@cd0253TP 29 күн бұрын

Most people choose the cheapest plan, makes sense it’s the worst value. It’s risky if the customer is in an area where priority matters and they experience poor service, but I would guess the companies feel they can upsell at that point. And if you got a phone you’re paying off over 3 years, it might seem too inconvenient to leave when the time comes.

@topgunatv 29 күн бұрын

I have been using US Mobile for 2 1/2 years and it is not deprioritized if using a 5G phone and the Verizon network. Had Verizon postpaid for almost 23 years straight and got tired of the no deals for you unless you add a new line or go with the most expensive unlimited plan. Cut my bill by over 2/3 with no change in service. Saved even more this year when USM rolled out the yearly plans. The savings more than pay for new phones when we want them.

@MegaLokopo 28 күн бұрын

Most of the carriers have more than one level of priority. It is never just de prioritized or not de prioritized. Let's pretend there are five levels verizon will slow down people in level 5 first which would be the cheapest plans, then as the tower gets busier they slow down level 4 and then 3 and then 2 and then 1 only if they have too, so it may say de prioritized but you might be on level 2 on the 60 dollar plan. And depending on your area, you may never see any data slow downs.

@lockinhinddanger934 26 күн бұрын

@topgunatv so technically when you get deprioritized it's because you're in a very densely populated area. Basically unless you're in a major city like newyork city, or are at a packed sporting event, you probably won't get deprioritized where you would notice it.

What you are forgetting is that the company that owns the cell tower will give network priority to their main customers over the secondary networks. For example if you live in an area with very few cell towers the main carrier will reduce network capacity and capability to the secondary customers giving them slower speeds or drop calls.

What you mentioned about dropping calls is completely inaccurate. Being deprioritized will not result in calls dropping. Also, as far as real world use, anything around 30Mbps and above on a smartphone provides basically the same user experience unless you're downloading large files. Whether it actually affects the user experience hinges on whether the network is congested enough that deprioritized users are getting slow speeds, say 10Mbps and under, and that's pretty uncommon nowadays.

Visible is not deprioritized

@derockx 17 күн бұрын

@@deyeatdapoopoo7582 The main issue with deprioritizarion is network latency and dropped packets. During a recent trip, I tried using an esim service, which i believe operates a way similar to MVNOs, and consistently measured upwards of 30% packet loss and latency of at minimum 300ms. Speedtest showed 25mbps, but i could barely use any social media app as images would fail to load and chat messages were insanely delayed. I think the esim company definitely oversold on their allocated bandwidth, and switching to a different one instantly solved my issues. Both companies used the same underlying company for coverage, one was just super deprioritized. goes to show that mbps is not a super accurate way to measure how useable a carrier is and deprioritization can have super noticeable effects.

Excellent video. It's really amazing to see how the mobile carrier industry has changed over the past decade. I remember when AT&T would be very stingy/restrictive about the MVNOs they allow on their network, and now they are going to be US Mobile's third carrier, which I think is crazy. There is obviously a shift towards making the MNOs increasingly "premium" brands with more bells and whistles (like free Latin America roaming, more hotspot data, and other perks) while leaving the rest of the market to prepaid brands and MVNOs.

Xfinity and Spectrum mobile are the leaders for MNVO and for the future potentially. Their hotspots save them so much money. I have unlimited data and pay $29.99 and use like 2GB a month cause places I go have an xfinity or spectrum internet routers which has a hotspot built in. Hence saving them on the data they bought in bulk and then they give someone else my data and free data for a year. So it adds up. Hence how Mint does their discounts for new customers.

Visible is far better.

Which is slow enough that most websites even text only websites will time out. So the data is only technically unlimited.

Can you do a video on MVNOs with roaming?

@airtioteclint 27 күн бұрын

I switched to visible after watching this video. I was on xfinity and they bumped my bill up for a lessor plan AND without notifying me. They did that with my internet too so i was already pissed and cancel. Visible seems alright so far but the 5g seems weaker than xfinity even though they both use Verizon. Will update this post after a few months or so.

It sounds like you’re interested in Verizon coverage. If you want Verizon coverage at a great price, I suggest you consider Visible or US Mobile.

What does "app based wireless" mean? If I have to download the visible app to be a customer, are they using that app to track and sell my user data?

I suggest you consider buying an unlocked phone off of Swappa. Then you can use the phone on whichever plan you choose.

I’ve been on it for over a week and it’s been totally fine. I’m definitely switching soon from AT&T. The basic actually works fine for me and I’m also on WiFi like 90% of my time so data speeds aren’t a top priority for me…but even so, Visible data speeds have been fine for me when I haven’t had access to WiFi

@gparyani Ай бұрын

It's a similar story with the pricing model of international airlines. They make a lot more money per unit of space on first and business class than economy class, so that's what they prefer to sell. They know, however, that there isn't enough demand to completely fill a plane with premium customers, so they put economy class in the remaining space so they can fill it up.

@rzawistowski33 Ай бұрын

Funny thing though I get better quality on AUS Mobile than I ever got on straight up Verizon. So I'm getting First class for economy pricing

I’m not sure that MVNO’s have the same priority on those networks.

@Brisingr73 Ай бұрын

Sometimes they do. US Mobile does on Verizon's network.

@DragonRider520 17 күн бұрын

Since almost everyone needs a data plan, wouldn't these MVNOs make all 3 of the carriers lose money? For example, so many friends switched from T-mobile/AT&T to Mint.. I convinced my whole family to switch too and its like 3-4x cheaper. So T mobile just lost thousands of dollars because my whole family switched.. Doesn't really make sense to me why they would have these MVNOs in terms of profit

I am on Visible+ @ $35/month with an old motorola one 5g UW phone (under $100). I dug out my old Samsung Galaxy A71 and put a TextNow Sim card in for MMS text on a different number but no internet for Free. It uses T-mobile tower so it takes a minute to send a picture (Lame!!!). Call me cheap but I am not paying $100 a month like most people do.

I've been using a discount carrier for over a year. The only downside I've observed is that certain areas have very poor/slow data coverage. Absolutely worth the discount, though.

@jonathanloganmoran 9 күн бұрын

My theory is that the MVNOs are able to offer plans cheaper than their Big 3 counterparts because they are selling your data in more lucrative ways.
