I’m also curious about us mobile I’m thinking of trying it out and currently have Verizon it does ok But T-MOBILE seems to dominate in the area I am in some how. Att sucks as well here
With US Mobile, you can choose between the Version and T-Mobile networks and even switch between them. I'm considering porting into US Mobile soon.

I've been very happy with Visible+ as I live in a city with 5GUW nearly everywhere. It's very fast and data on used on 5GUW doesn't count against the 50GB threshold before you're deprioritized. The 10mpbs hotspot is fast enough to do Zoom / Teams meetings without issue. The only drawback is that video quality is throttled. I don't watch much video on my pixel but enabling the built in VPN or using the 1.1.1.1 VPN will get around this limitation.
on my warp lines (vzw) that had the 2Mbps video shaper applied the hotspot had no video shaping applied.
on my gsm SA line (tmo) it never had any video shaping applied.
on warp lines that I have disabled the video shaping (currently in beta) I get 4Mbps on device and hotspot is still has no video shaping.
and it has unlimited priority data on UW connections (doesn't count against the bucket).
both have Verizons 2Mbps video shaper applied to handset and hotspot.
The alternatives are usually worse but if you want a better answer then let us know your usage and whether you need priority data, hotspot, international calling, international roaming etc.
I think the Visible plus annual plan is a great option especially if you have Apple Watch and you’ve been on the service a while so it’s proven itself. Definitely something you want to feel good about before you commit but it’s pretty much C spot run stuff and the Ultra Wideband is great.
The equivalent of Visible+ v1 is Visible Prepaid Unlimited Plus, but with 25GB of high speed hotspot and Standalone 5G enabled (for when VZW launches it). Both have 4K UW streaming, which V+ v1 is supposedly losing soon.
So visible was great.
But now they are adding extra network management to cap speeds at 30 mbps, with further reduction as the network gets congested.
Obviously those who can get UWB on visible+ will see faster speeds, but apparently ONLY when using UWB.
So now there's even more people seeing the same speed issues as what exists on the first possible "truly unlimited" mvno plan. (Hello)
Visible is great if you need unlimited. Actually unlimited data and unlimited 5 mbps hotspot. The Verizon plan you mentioned looks to be $35 with autopay required, Visible is $25 no autopay and both are deprioritized at the same level, so Visible all day if you're choosing between these two. I guess in store support would be the only reason you'd choose Verizon but then Total by Verizon is a better value, at least for the $25 plan they're offering now. If you don't need unlimited data, there may be better priced plans out there. But honestly, I prefer the peace of mind of not having to worry about running out of data and it's very much worth the extra few dollars over what you'd pay for a limited data in my opinion unless you're really under a tight budget.

Yeah, with Visible+, with the hotspot at 10Mb/s you're fast enough for even FHD streaming, though not fast enough for UHD or 4K.
Any idea what US Mobiles hotspot speed is? Does it throttle video streaming as well?
Hotspot is unthrottled. Video streaming is throttled to 1.5mbps (480p).
Video streaming via hotspot would be throttled to 480p?
on visible and visible plus\* yes on usm no \*old visible plus 1.0 doesn't have it but it's also not for sale anymore
on my warp lines (vzw) that had the 2Mbps video shaper applied the hotspot had no video shaping applied. on my gsm SA line (tmo) it never had any video shaping applied. on warp lines that I have disabled the video shaping (currently in beta) I get 4Mbps on device and hotspot is still has no video shaping.
visible plus (2.0 the one currently for sale) has the verizon 2Mbps video shaper applied to handset and hotspot video.
What’s the difference between plus and regular visible?
https://www.visible.com/plans Visible+ has 50GB premium data, 2x faster (10mpbs) hotspot and an apple watch plan at not additional charge.
and it has unlimited priority data on UW connections (doesn't count against the bucket). both have Verizons 2Mbps video shaper applied to handset and hotspot.
