I use Visible which is a Verizon subsidiary (MVNO-like, but not an MVNO) - I think they used it to test out stuff or something?
Either way it's $25/mo unlimited everything with the tradeoff being that you can be deprioritized. In the bay area though it works fine and that's a great price for no contract.
As a bonus there are no stores and you sign up via the app, I've been happy with it.

Visible is a Verizon subsidiary used to capture price sensitive customers.
The funny thing to me is if Verizon's plans and website weren't such a disaster I'd be happy to pay more for better service.
I just don't want to deal with a rep, be forced to go to a store, be forced to sign a contract, have to navigate fifty different dark patterns that obscure the true pricing and try to screw me out of what I want.
If Verizon just charged $50/mo I'd pay it, but their current setup is awful.

Corporate inertia is hard to overcome.

Exactly. I was confused by the majors owning their own MVNOs. Until I realized that's just how they do market segmentation now.

Who is your provider!? I pay that much for an MVNO that deprioritizes me around 100gb. Would love to switch, it's interfering with my work.
The provider I have is data only at $120/mo for up to 1TB of 4G data. I'm not certain, but it seems like they'll move my SIM through different accounts on their backend to ensure that I always have full speed transfer within that limit... as when I'm getting close to a transfer threshold, my speeds will slow down, my modem will reboot at some time during that day, and then afterwards I'm back to full speeds.
So far, never had an issue.
