This was really, really helpful. Thank you for this deep-dive comparison model to help us understanding the pros and cons of each plan. I'd been having a difficult time deciding between Mint Mobile and a T-Mobile prepaid or Magenta Plus plan. The prepaid plan was looking really attractive, but I had questions that you very adeptly answered. I'm now a new subscriber, and I'm looking forward to watching more of your content! Again, thank you for your in-depth analysis of these plans.

Thanks for the comparison. I have the Essentials plan and it’s adequate for our use. There are three of us on this plan with 60gb shared data. Yes the video is at a lower resolution but in a smart phone it’s fine. Hotspot has limited speed also but I rarely use it. Essential is the cheapest plan and texting and social media is what we mostly use it with. The best thing about data plans is it’s included when you travel abroad

Thanks for the reviews. Quite informative and hands-on! Question 1: when you test the speeds and determine how the date rate gets distributed when running the phones simultaneously, how do you know that the distribution is restricted to the phones under test? There are other users in your area using tmobile services and they may take up some BWs too right? How do you know if it's not shared with them? Ofcourse, they are different lines/families but they are using the same network provider. How did you eliminate this assumption? (If you didn't, can you explain how your results are accurate.) Question 2: I was under the assumption that, hotspots are data that we use as wifi. From the view of the network provider, they are just giving me data (it doesn't make a difference to them, if it's a hotspot data or phone data. It's just data). The user can choose to use it as a hotspot if the device supports it. a. In this case, why is there a limit on the hotspot? b. Is hotspot technically a separate subscription with the network provider aside from data? I know this exists. But I am wondering why. Any idea? (Analogy: This is like water supply. I can use water to cook or bathe. Would Utilities dept charge me differently for cooking water and bathing water? Or place limits on how much I can use for cooking or bathing individually? No. So this is what I am trying to understand regarding phone data and hotspot data)

Here's a fun thing I've noticed. If you use Cloudflare's free WARP service, it will should give you uncapped streaming speeds the same way a VPN does. It may not be perfect, but it's free and it is plenty fast for HD video. Proper VPNs are probably technically a little bit better, but in my experience this works great if you don't feel like paying money for a VPN.

6:57 keep an eye on Mint Mobile, the solid 5G icon turns into transparent 5G icon and Speedtest app shows LTE instead of 5G. I wonder if this is some sort of internal power saving feature by Samsung? When I’m doing something intense like watching KZfaq or running a Speedtest on my Note10+ 5G, a solid white 5G icon is displayed but when I do something light such as slowly browse on Twitter/Reddit or if I turn off the screen longer than 30 seconds it displays a transparent 5G icon (meaning 5G is available nearby but due to distance or direction of the mast it’s connected to LTE.) Once again if I go back to a heavy task like watching KZfaq or downloading an app the solid 5G icon appears again, it has to be some sort of internal 5G power saving by Samsung that we can’t toggle off, right?

I heard you say on recent video that you were evaluating phone services. Last week I left Mint Mobile because most of the dsy my data was deprioritized to less than 1mbps. I went to an unlimited plan from Boom Mobile that is on the ATT network (actually the SIM has an ATT logo). Boom claims it has ATT postpaid priority. It cost $499 for one year. Where I live, ATT is mostly 5Ge and sometimes 5G. (Side note: a few days after I switched I started getting consistent 5G using another Mint Mobile SIM. Speeds download from 50 to 75mbps.)

I was actually deciding between Simply Prepaid (10GB with shared hotspot) and Essentials ("Unlimited" with 512kbps hotspot). Looks like we're going with the ironically faster Prepaid.

T-Mobile prepaid is the way to go but the only problem is video stream is limited to 480p quality. Also ping is higher on speed tests. But the download speeds are about the same as Magenta Max

If I was to use a VPN once my 35 gigs of data is used will it still be throttled? Right now it is throttled so badly my phone is unusable and I even use it very conservatively. I may have about 2 or 3 days at the end of my billing cycle where my service is useless and my phone no longer has access to the 30gb of hotspot data that I have with my plan. May I please have an answer if not that is fine, thank you.

I’d love to see a speed test comparison of all 3 lower tier cell phones going at the same time as 1 high tier cell phone. Would the 3 lower tier cell phones be sharing 20% while the 1 top tier phone still gets 80%?

I believe “compatible with fi” means the phone just runs on T-Mobile’s network like any other MVNO, not sure which QCI it has though.
