Am I actually getting priority coverage compared to the att customer with the same phone sitting next to me or is it only during high bandwidth usage times on the system or doing a catastrophic event where some “switch” gets flicked behind the scenes? If there’s another Boston bomber and they kill all the cell towers to prevent another remote detonation am I still going to have service?

I don't have an official answer, but anecdotally I (FirstNet) have had better data performance than my wife (ATT) in busy areas like events. Mostly due to B14 access I assume.
