I wanted to choose AT&T service when signing up for US Mobile, but my imported Sony phone would be incompatible. Glad I chose T-Mobile service, as one who's also from San Diego. Twice as fast as my old Verizon service.
I've been using Mint for about 6 weeks now and last week I downloaded the speed test app. So I've been checking speeds in my area (Hampton Roads, VA) wherever I happen to be. Yesterday I ran a check of Mint from the parking lot of the post office and got a whopping 812 Mbps! That's significantly faster than my Cox home internet (588 Mbps last night). I was truly shocked to get that sort of speed. Of course it was more of an aberration. Generally I've been getting more in the 100-250 Mbps range. And just a couple of hours after my post office test I was at a grocery store in the other direction and only got like 28 Mbps. So speeds can vary greatly over short distances (we're probably talking 5 miles as the crow flies) and time of day.
I’ve had both mint and visible. In the areas I had service I noticed mint typically had faster data speeds, but in my area I don’t have as many dead zones with visible. Furthermore, I noticed the call quality is better across the board with visible as well. Is there a reason this might be the case? I’ve always been curious about those differences
Any idea why call quality is better on verizon/visible, but data speeds are slower. I thought they would be related, but in my experience that hasn't been the case
It depends. Mint has coverage wherever T-Mobile has coverage, which means for the vast majority of people. All the carriers have their weaknesses in certain rural areas. And if you're looking for 5G, T-Mobile (and thus Mint) has more 5G coverage than AT&T and Verizon combined.

Sherri is just wow
Mint Mobile is crushing AT&T in speeds.
Att is a real carrier mint is not it’s just an MVNO
@@mattcatlover333mint runs off of t-mobile so it is a real carrier
@@mikesjunior3511no it’s not there’s only 3 real carriers
Bc their owned by T-Mobile ❤
After you use 40GB on Mint your speeds slow down to 512 kbps down/up. If you use less than 40GB a month, then Mint it's a great option.

Mint is T-Mobile and Visible is Verizon. We all know Verizon has better coverage compared to T-Mobile which has a lot of dead spots of coverage.

Verizon call quality has always been good but speeds vary in different locations but speeds are better than AT&T.
But does mint have the same rural coverage as AT&T ? Probably not

@@rickwiese5438 Tmobile rural coverage is awful in my area so AT&T beats Verizon also in my area for rural coverage
This is embarrassing for AT&T where they got crushed by T-Mobile where Mint is deprioritized. Sherri its time to give up your grandfathered AT&T plan.
Is AT&T better than Mint Mobile?
All these phone services are pretty good but certain locations might be better than others depending on which one you are using.
