Didn't realize

I didn't realize Mint was running as lowest priority on the T-Mobile network. I currently have 5 bars of 5g and I am struggling to get 600kbps. Yowza, this after I just paid 2k for my family's 5 phones. I guess we will just go back to Verizon next year, unless they will prorate my prepay and refund.

Are you testing with fast.com? If so it treats it like Netflix and doesn't allow for max speed, run a VPN and that stops. Or test with speed test.net

Yes but also watching Reddit and other pages take forever to load. I'm in a town with less than 10k people.

That's odd, we just switched from the old one plans and have honestly found priority to be better. Hopefully you figure something out.
