Of all the services Mint Mobile had the worst bandwidth by far. I don't know all the intricacies of MVNO data tiering, but Mint Mobile has to be pretty low. I'd do side by side comparisons with T-mobile and Mint (who uses T-Mobile network), and the difference was astronomical. We're talking upwards of 80-90% slower, esp. during peak hours.
I only bothered testing in the first place to confirm my suspicions that Mint Mobile throttled because I'd literally have trouble loading websites when I was out and about.
That brings us to US Mobile. They use both Verizon and AT&T, you choose. Obviously I went w/ verizon because.. well Verizon. US Mobile has done some voodoo magic by actually securing priority data, so easily 10 times faster than Mint in almost every scenario.
You can even interchangeably switch between the two networks. Here's the zinger... alot of carriers say you can do this and that, but US Mobile web and mobile app actually make it EASY to do. Practically everything is self serve in a very clear, and easy to use interface.
If you ever have to chat support, I've never waited longer than 30 seconds to connect, and have always had someone who was polite and solved whatever issue I was having.
So 1. Fastest MVNO 2. Most flexible MVNO 3. Most featureset of any MVNO 4. best App and self-service of any MVNO 5. best customer service of any MVNO... It's also actually the same price if not cheaper than most reputable MVNO (on the annual plan).
I seriously am still trying to figure out what the deal is, for now I'm not complaining and just enjoying the solid service.
Sorry, Super Shilly I know. Swear to god I'm just an enthusiastic happy customer. Just go US Mobile.

Now got mint.
In Houston area.
It's definitely the worst provider.
Speed is so slow and quality is really bad. Better don't buy mint.

My brand new Samsung S25 was used only 1 week and all of sudden dead and totally dead no matter what I tried to revive it. Samsung replaced the whole PBA main board for free to fix it. My other brand new Samsung S25 Ultra got a battery issue I think. The battery was drained to 0 without powering it on in 1 day, that is a fricken ridiculous.

From what I've seen, it will not roam between the 3 networks, you need to keep changing SIMs, so you could have one physical SIM plus a couple E-SIMs, but it isn't a process you'd want to go through like every day.
Additionally, I have no cell service from ANYONE where I live (in the middle of a MAJOR metropolitan city, but in the hills), and T-Mobile several years ago gave me a two part 'microcell' device where one part just has to see a single bar for the other part to flood the entire three story house with 5 bars. Great device as long as you no longer plan to have any children.
And they also still support wi-fi calling (in fact encourage it) which works better than I expected.

What you're referring to the option to switch between networks. The multi Network add-on lets you have multiple networks active on your phone at the same time.
