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!
Would like to see a test of every major carrier at a music festival. Many years ago, 4G LTE Sprint iPhone 6s Plus and T-Mobile iPhone X at Lollapalooza Chicago would be unusable at the popular stages. I've been testing 5G mobile hotspots on every carrier at festivals recently and have even been able to do a decent quality live stream in comparison.
You have an advantage with Visible. One of their server sites is very close to you and your ping times are good. Most people have ping times 2 to 4 times what you see.
@@flexbox2089 ok they have the lowest priority on the Verizon network and Visible gets deprioritization that makes the service totally unusable at times.
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.
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
Pretty much the deal with Verizon at my home at all times. .01 if you're lucky to even get it to connect. AT&T easily over 100mbps any time day or night
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.
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
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
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.
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 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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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.
Visible works well till you have a problem. My line was down for a week before they found a workaround. It was all on their end. There is no ex use for that. I switched to US Mobile so far so good
I have t-mobile magenta max only LTE more than 600gb per month and the speeds still same over 190mbps in a rural areal... thanks Stetson for recommending Circledin too 🙏🏻💯🙌🏻
@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!! 😁
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.-
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.
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.
The ping sucks on visible in my area. You didn’t mention ping. I get 5 bars of 5g on Visible in my area and horrible speed. Ping is just as important when considering lag. Visible must hit many nodes on it’s travels.
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.
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
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.
That’s why i chose us mobile vs visible, I’ve seen way to many videos of visible getting D prioritized over US mobile And at least US mobile offer 75 GB priority data vs visible Always D prioritized no matter what
Stetson, I know that this might be a little off topic but is there anyway you could do reviews on cell phone signal boosters? I’m debating between the hiboost and the weboost Systems
You can’t trust speed test sites using nearby carrier own server as the MVNO’s and carriers learn not to Throttle to speeds on those servers on on everything else they do. Run tests on completely different server that not owned by carrier tells you real results.
One of the major carriers actually don’t offer unlimited data and that is U.S Cellular all their what they call unlimited plan is actually a 100GB Plan than after the 100GB of usage data is capped at 3G speeds
I have a Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch. I am in need of a newer phone,currently I have a Samsung Galaxy 6.0.1 android. don't know what to upgrade to that will pair with my watch. Can you suggest something? Carrier is Straight Talk. Would appreciate suggestion for other carrier too,thanks.
I don’t think it was deprioritized on second test for us mobile I saw it kept changing from one bar to two bars so it might be from the cellular tower changing to much farther one.
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)
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.
This video should not be conclusive evidence to which plan to go to as you can clearly see in the visible versus Us mobile visible has two bars on the top right of the screen and US Mobile only has one
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.
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
Let’s just call it what it is, Colorado speed test of Verizon and Verizon MVNOs. Location is so important with Visible, some people like myself have no problems, others it is almost unbearable. When is Visible getting more servers?
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
Us mobile wasn’t horrible but it got annoying when they would randomly end my service for some service check they do on their lines and I couldn’t use my phone until I called in to have them restore service and this happened once a month
US Mobile uses either the T-Mobile or Verizon network for coverage. So your speeds will be however fast the Verizon or T-Mobile networks are in your area. Cricket uses AT&T, so its speeds will be as fast as the AT&T network is in your area.
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.
@@o_o825 No, I am actually pretty close to the Boston server. I had to switch because of some MMS difficulties, which I later learned weren’t carrier related. So I could go back to Visible, but I’m a limited data user now (currently use Mobi which uses the Verizon network) so Visible isn’t as cost effective for my use case. It is an incredible deal, and if I ever start using more data I would go back in a heartbeat.
AT&T prepaid 8gb annual plan 25/mo is my favorite overall, visible unlimited with stetson's party for 25/mo for Verizon, mint mobile 10gb 20/mo if you want TMobile
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!
I'm on the 75GB premium and I have seen UW indicators but can' t do a speed test yet.

It's not the greatest in Wisconsin either 😩
You make no sense. Visible uses Verizon towers / infrastructure

Sometimes deprioritization is really bad on the Verizon network. They are spectrum starved right now.
What AT&T plan did you end up with? Prepaid or post paid or MVNO?
@@JeskidoYT I ended up going with unlimited elite due to the fiber discount and all.

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
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
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.
Visible is so bad where i live, regardless of location or time of day i would only get 2mbps down tops, ended up switching to tmo
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.
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

Visible wireless is terrible, never try gps when driving, does not work right.
If I had to guess Visible having a 50gb data limit for 5G it probably gets priority
Visible Wireless is very good in Ocala, Florida for $25/mo
Great video. You need a third hand!

Stetson, I know that this might be a little off topic but is there anyway you could do reviews on cell phone signal boosters? I’m debating between the hiboost and the weboost Systems
My experience with us mobile so far is it’s either very fast or unusable. Wish it were more consistent
I'm paying $65 for Verizon Play More Plan and $30 for Fios. So far no problems. Speed is great and customer support is good.
You don't notice it at all on your phone visible is the best bang for your dollar
Visible 52 down 12.4 up. Used to be capped at 5 up and 5 down for the longest time. Tested In Texas

Mint mobile
AT&T prepaid 8gb annual plan 25/mo is my favorite overall, visible unlimited with stetson's party for 25/mo for Verizon, mint mobile 10gb 20/mo if you want TMobile
If you want unlimited data plan I can help you do that
I honestly have had a terrible experience with visible. Mint works better and is consistently.
Really I had the opposite here in NV. The Verizon coverage follows me off road with visible and sometimes boost Infinite.
I have the same Verizon plan and I get at the most 8 mbps
I think I could say this test means nothing. We don’t live all in the same place.
Do Mint Mobile vs Visible!
Is anyone from NYC how is visible ?

You can get the first month for $5
Is the unlimited data plan on US mobile pretty fast or how fast is US mobile unlimited data plan
Yeah but you have to subscribe to it ,if you don't know how to do it let me know
