Verizon vs Visible vs US Mobile Speed Test!

[@ethannn475]

US Mobile supposedly has 5GUW and priority data coming very soon. I was actually able to connect to a 5GUW signal on USM even though it hasn't been officially announced. I'd love to see a speed test video when those are released!

[@rockvilleraven]

I'm on the 75GB premium and I have seen UW indicators but can' t do a speed test yet.

[@dmite09]

I used 300gbs on VZ Play More last month. No deprio despite the 50gb cap. In fact, I go over every month and haven’t been slowed down yet

[@ejwagner5487]

As a Verizon rep they won't ever slow you down from what I've seen over the 10 years. You may just wait a little longer to get connected

[@thetechlibrarian]

I'm on the same plan and I use about 150gb a month and I can still watch a 1440p video no problem and can't even really notice a difference after going over my 50gb allotment. I tried visable and I couldn't even watch a video at all.

[@WelchC8289]

Just switched to visible from mint no problems so far. Moved out of T-Mobile coverage area for reference other than that mint was perfection.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I love it. After 3rd month the reprioritize started more. Not sure if that's design to hook you in. I used to watch 2k streaming. Now I can't. But I do love this. Unlimited is all I need and 25 month is awesome

[@DontizzyTv]

Right then with party pay you 5$ and that’s great

[@robertclarkguitar]

@@DontizzyTv if I could only get people to join mine. Hahahaha. I suppose making a video would help but I'd hate to Ebeg...Haha. So far it's the best plan period. I've had them all. The worst part of this plan is,...It cannot last forever. It's beating Verizon itself at half the cost. Or more. Albeit the reprioritized service. Again as stated above. Mine was full speed on my pixel 4xl hitting 109 down and 76 up. I'm in Warner robins Ga. For almost 2 full months my KZbin streaming actually played at max resolution. I came from straight talk unlimited. It benched at 27 d and 17 up. Ave. But only played at 480. Now it seems that's the case for me with visible. I'm not worried though. It's the hotspot I use an hour a night for a show while I eat. Then the rest is streaming KZbin and uploading to my channel. Which the crazy thing is, st took 40 minutes for a 10 minute video. Same Verizon tower. Visible???? 2 minutes.

5g is like HSPA+ for lte. 5g should be more like 200-500mpbs and I’ve seen it go to 1350 but my friend literally was next to a 5g tower when he got those speeds.

[@chizhang9135]

Visible is trash in busy area. In the campus, the visible speed never over 3 mbps

Visible's service definitely depends a LOT on how congested the Verizon network is in a particular location. Still gotta appreciate how affordable they are.

[@MichaelSaves]

[@terence.h]

Hi Stetson, can you compare the cheapest postpaid unlimited Verizon plan (Start Unlimited) with Visible and US Mobile? They seem to be more closely priced and I wasn't sure how deprioritized the Verizon Start Unlimited plan was compared to the rest

[@arafath717]

Would you recommend Verizon Start unlimited plan? What do you think about this plan and what's the average speed do you get with this plan? (I don't need no extra benefits, just unlimited data with good average speed)

[@StetsonDoggett]

I do not recommend Unlimited Starter. It is always deprioritized, so its speeds are exactly the same as Visible and US Mobile. I would go with US Mobile instead. It’s the same service, but at a way lower price. The only reason I would consider going with Start Unlimited is if you wanted to finance your device.

[@cesarsalgadosalgado2199]

I live in Chicago Illinois is Verizon wireless fast or really faster around because I have cricket wireless and the speed is about half way how fast is Verizon wireless in my area

[@SudhanshuKumartech]

I don’t know why youtube recommended it but to just let the US people know they are getting heavily scammed with all this priority and depriority thingy. We don’t have anything like that in the indian market

Would like to see a test of every major carrier at a music festival.

[@chuckchizzle]

I was there too...used a Nexus 6p Had great coverage with Straight Talk. At the One Music Fest in Atlanta... T-Mobile on a Note 8 was great.

[@asfdemt]

At home US Mobile was amazing for me, however when traveling to Louisville or Nashville the speeds hit some unacceptable massive de- priority in ranges of 0.01 download and nothing on uploads. Ending up going to AT&T

[@StetsonDoggett]

Sometimes deprioritization is really bad on the Verizon network. They are spectrum starved right now.

[@JeskidoYT]

What AT&T plan did you end up with? Prepaid or post paid or MVNO?

Great comparison! It was an eye opener to see the VPN speeds. One other speed test that I would have liked would have been using the phone as a hotspot on another device. That would be an interesting comparison.

[@EricDrinkard]

Verizon's roaming agreements are one of the biggest perks to its post-paid plans, but with VZW buying so many of the smaller carriers that gap gets smaller each year. Depriorization in heavy areas can be a killer as their management doesn't seem to be as good as ATT or Magenta, at least in my testings in the areas I go into. Great video as always.

[@rmstark1966]

ATT has the best in deprioritization. They dont hit you as hard when it does happen as Tmo or Verizon, unless your on the more expensive plans of the latter 2

[@joeblow527]

Unless you're at a 4th of July party a amusement park or a concert you're not going to notice the difference visible rocks I went from Verizon to visible I've now had it one year the only time I've ever noticed any difference was at the 4th of July when everybody was in one spot for less than half of Verizon prices visible for the win

[@ray21818]

@stetsondoggett first of all I love your channel........I think you should do this video again now that Visible+ and usmobile have priority data. I think it would be interesting to see if visible (using Verizon core) and usmobile have any differences in terms of latency and jitter as well as their speed. Thanks!! And keep making amazing videos!! 😁

I got 2 pixel 5 phones and ping on visible is 175 with 5 g and red pocket 38 ping on att. Here in FL. 39 gig download on visible and 80 down on red pocket att. Trying to listen to hd music on visible is horrible for me. I tried express VPN and doesn't help my speeds.

[@morzinbo]

Amazingly inconsistent speedtest results across the board. I was using Visible for about 5 months but I would get horrendous speeds near my work so I switched over to AT&T prepaid and (aside from the nightmare of trying to get my number ported) I've been a lot happier with my service.-

[@Hdic2018]

I don't think AT&T prepaid offer 5G connection unless on the highest plan

[@thetechgenie7374]

I learn never run test on nearby carrier own server as they don’t throttle speeds. You get more realistic results using different server. The carriers know people do speed test and screw with results.

The better upload on US Mobile was because it was using LTE only. Verizon and Visible on 5G combine upload from the B2 or B66 and n5, and low signal on the midband LTE anchor lowered upload speeds.

This is only because he is near one of Visible’s servers in the Denver area. The other one is in Boston, MA. If you are near one of these locations your ping will be low. I am in Maine and had super low pings when I had Visible due to my proximity to the Boston server.
