Damn i really did not know the prices were thay high in the US still. I pay about 5 euro monthly for unlimited data (i have a very good deal) but i don’t think anyone pays more than 35 euro a month here for that.

$100 is like top tier to be fair but it’s still usually like, $85 for those postpaid plans. I know even single college students who pay this full price without a family plan though, mostly because 1. it comes with an iPhone, and 2. they know their parents used it 
This is stupid though and they should just pay for US Mobile / Mint / Visible, plus a monthly iPhone plan instead if that’s what they really want to spend their money on.

You can correct me if I’m wrong, but the way I understand it is that even though someone such as Mint Mobile may be using for example T-Mobiles towers for their network as well, the service still wouldn’t be as good in a lot of areas (mainly rural) because they don’t use ALL of T-Mobiles towers. They only use a fraction of them that they lease/rent.
I am not an MVNO expert. I have heard this recently, but I have not yet seen actual evidence showing this is the case. Again I could just not be aware though.
They do almost always have deprioritized service. Usually data is prioritized like,
- First responders [they all have special plans for these people but that is irrelevant to most of us]
- Business
- Postpaid users
- The carrier’s own prepaid plans
- MVNOs
- Home internet plans
On some carriers some of these might be on the same tiers or there are sub-tiers, so it’s just as a general rule. Some MVNOs can also negotiate better deals. I know US Mobile has higher priority as an add-on on AT&T.
This is something I’m gonna ask them about if I get a chance though.
You can check, but I’m almost positive that’s how it works which why they can offer a cheaper rate.
I believe if you’re in the city, you can choose between the companies and wouldn’t really notice a difference, but if you’re in the middle of Oklahoma somewhere You’d probably be shit out of luck for a phone signal. However, they usually get decent service as long as you’re close to an interstate
I’m curious to know which network infrastructure they use.

A little bit of research is all you need to learn more:
Thanks. I didn’t scroll down far enough.
Great video.
I’m concerned about the what was mentioned in the downsides.
Because
CEO is ex-palantir, and personally I do not think this is good thing. Maybe they have realized that the company was bad or not lining up with their own principles and wanted to have change. Or maybe they knew what was the company about.
But I want to believe they had “change of heart” and wanted to do the opposite than what they maybe did earlier… but I might stay away from cape for now and just monitor now
