Now that porting between MVNOs with eSIM is free and dead simple, I can’t think of a reason to stick with the big 3 carriers.

The MVNO I stuck with even has a slick way to port between networks!

Deprioritization is why - even 5G is unusable sometimes in busy places if you’re on an MVNO. I’d rather pay more for it to always work

If the FCC were functional, it would be nice for carriers to expose priority in the phone icons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to friends who lamented about “Full bars but no service, weird.” The current iconography is outdated and clearly confusing (read: misleading) to the public.

I’m curious, is there some kind of real-life benchmarks available online for this? I totally believe that a network would deprioritize the mvnos, and I’m guessing there is some pecking order depending on their contract with the network, but I’m curious how it converts to real world usage.

What MVNO is that?
