Verizon is the only network that is reliable in my area. I've had great luck with visible, which is a spin-off on their network. Cheap as hell too - $25/mo for unlimited everything.
Note that Visible is an MVNO subject to deprioritization. I’m on the lowest Verizon Unlimited plan which is subject to the same and my service is nigh unusable when my broadband internet goes out or I’m in a really large crowd (e.g. music festival)
Yes, adding in a second data point as well. Verizon directly is great in this one area nearby, but using Visible in that same area was painful for anything data related. Would show full signal bars with Visible, but actual data rates were throttled and/or strongly deprioritized.
You genuinely get what you pay for when you spend the extra dollars for the direct carrier relationship with AT&T and Verizon. All of the MVNO's as well as their own prepaid plans will not compare if the towers are busy.
