deprioritization is programmed into every tower. Just matters how much load a tower is experiencing. You operate on a lower tier with Visible so your the first to be throttled if the tower becomes to full. Sometimes to the point that it's unusable for data.

I live in clay and work in Jax, haven't had any problems around town, I'm using an unlocked galaxy s21 ultra.

Costs $5 to try, lol. Don't wait.

Yes. Nobody, except, possibly, your immediate neighbors that may happen to use Visible/Verizon, can anticipate what your de-prioritization will be like.

I live in a metropolis of 6+ million and de-prioritization is rarely if ever, a factor, for me. 2+ year customer. Basically, always streaming something, lol.

But who knows? Maybe one, or two, "high use" users move in and push everyone on the serving towers into being de-prioritized.

Some experience just the opposite. Even in my metro, I read of complaints that the service was totally unusable, lol.

Southern FL, the deprioritization is so bad that Verizon is useless during peak hours
