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.

There is currently a deal for existing customers. You can buy Pixel 9 for $360. And you are not forced to add any lines or change your service. I bought my Pixel 8 for $300 as existing Customer about 1 year ago
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.
Historically it has only been rural areas that didn't have good coverage from one or the other where they had those roaming agreements in place. Often it was 3G speeds. Not sure the current state of that agreement though.
Unless something has changed I don't think Verizon has roaming agreements with anyone.
Google Fi had a similar setup with T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular but that is gone since Sprint and USC are gone (and people complained it was very problematic). I can see T-Mobile and ATT being a smoother experience, at least in those areas where they have the agreements.

They are supposedly based in Pakistan. That means the U.S. government can eavesdrop on you whenever they want or see fit.
If for some reason you had trouble with copyright in the past, then U.S. Mobile opens the door to abuse by the Feds and international hackers or the likes of Microsoft, the worst company for privacy rights. They make their cybersecurity gray areas larger and enforce their intellectual property rights when given government contracts. FYI.
