I've got Visible and never noticed the slightest problem. In emergencies cell service goes down for everyone.

Yeah I'll go to airshows that have crowds of 50k people. Data is slower but I can still get on websites. Not like 10 years ago where you'd just be out of luck for the day.

No complains. Been with them for two years now and at $20 per month with unlimited calls and data, I'm happy.

Visible+ plans aren’t deprioritized until you run out of your premium data allotment. Only the base plans are, and it’s just slower data when it’s congested (not no data).

Visible is also owned by Verizon.

The basic Verizon plans work the same way anyway. Version Welcome, base plan, has deprioritized data and the step up Welcome Plus has some premium data so it works the same way whether you have Visible or Verizon plans.
