Mobile LTE Coverage Map

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.
