    I’m on mint, and just waiting for T-Mobile to come after us. Nothing this beautiful can last.

          Thanks for not saying “look it up”. We can’t seem to keep anything nice. We were just about to leave for Mint. Do you like it?

            I have mint: The connection sucks, you get deprioritized against other traffic so bandwidth is usually garbage. It’s fine if you just need text and phone calls though.

              Is that what’s going on? So often since I switched to Mint I’ll have full bars and can’t do anything online.

                That’s every third party lease phone service and the difference between paying for a company that owns their own towers or network like Verizon, t mobile, and at&t, compared to any of the ones like mint who just use the towers that any of the above carriers own. If you use anything like Mint, you get bumped to the bottom of the bandwidth availability.

                Otherwise why would anyone pay more for the same service?

              I think this experience might be region-dependant. I’m in a major city on Mint and I routinely see 900Mbps+ down and never have any issues with streaming. I think the lowest speed test I ever saw was around 200Mbps.

              I have mint too and haven’t had much trouble with bandwidth. But to be fair I don’t use my phone for very much while not on wifi, mostly just streaming music and Google maps.

              I was worried about that since they buy access to towers, thank you for sharing your experience. Are able to see when that happens in a concrete way, or is more just the noticable lag?

            I switched from T-Mobile to mint not long ago and only two things changed, how much and who I pay, but like he said they’ll come for us soon enough now that they bought mint.

            Mint got sold when Ryan Reynolds needed more money to buy that soccer team

            Mints fine in my experience, but my time is almost up (december) and have been using them since 2018. Im considering moving onto US Mobile which offers better plans (and option of which towers you want to use, they offer tmobile or verison, so pick based on phone specs/area) or a Google fi family plan
