Problem is all prepaid plans are MVNOs that throttle speeds

The main carriers offer prepaid plans, and there is no postpaid plan that doesn't throttle speeds after you go over a certain amount when the towers a busy.

The MVNOs throttle and deprioritise in high traffic times too.

Also, throttling at 30GB is a lot Different than at 300GB which is what I went from on Visible to Verizon (visible is Verizon’s prepaid service, and it still worked like an MVNO by slowing down during the day and rush hour while Verizon clicked along streaming 4K)
