I have t mobile on a legacy plan and we like it a lot. It's probably $45 a month. Is there any reason NOT to switch to one of these cheaper providers? I had straight talk probably 10 years ago and noticed it was randomly slower but that was older tech older networks etc

Same here on T-Mobile but what keeps us from switching despite what amounts to a very low monthly cost is you're subject to higher renewal pricing after 1 year is up (no more promo 1-year pricing). You can switch back and forth with a Google Voice number to act as a new customer again but it's a hassle, especially with multiple lines.
The other perk of TMo is the free Netflix and Hulu and the unhindered 5G. With services like Mint, if at a populated venue they throttle lower priority services like Mint if many are using it.

I've been on MVNO for the last 5 years. I don't know that I've ever run into the problem of being throttled, but it's hard to tell. Mostly the speed issues I've run into are reception issues - like certain buildings always being a problem. The prices are such that even accounting for perks, the core service costs twice as much on T-Mobile as it does on MVNO. I don't travel much, so I don't know if it's any different in other places than Chicago.
Been on Mint three years and Visible for six... Never have I had network issues in regards to throttling. Theme parks, sports arenas, you name it. It's been worth the savings and convenience without question!
