Visible vs Spectrum

I was curious if anyone had any experiences good or bad with either of these 2 wireless providers?

I'm doing the visible $20 promo for my second line. Call and texting no issues. Data is the downfall. It is usually slower then the Verizon phone. Yesterday I was using the hotspot to stream music and was doing good most the day, but towards the end it started buffering pretty bad, I changed to the Verizon phone and started streaming perfect again. I've streamed music straight from the phone and got a few buffering issues. I would not recommend it if you use hotspot.. They clearly say 5 mbps with throttle possible and they do throttle that. The data straight from the phone is ok. I've had very slow speeds and 180 Mbps on 5G. I know I've been throttled on regular data also.

I drive for a living so I'm traveling, but in the same areas all the time, so I know what data does with regular Verizon compared to visible. If you are traveling a lot and wanting to depend on visible for your only phone I wouldn't recommend it for data. calls and text messaging no issues. I am using it for a second line for calls mainly and some texting. As of now it won't be my main line for the data deals. If you don't travel visible might be ok.

These cheap plans are cheaper for a reason, I know with visible there is a difference. If you have any questions ask.

Here are some words tests I've done with visible

I have gotten higher speeds also but wanted to show how slow it can get and I believe throttle does happen.

It's Verizon, uses Verizon network, but obviously gets slower speeds at times.

Nothing but bad reviews from Visible....
My banking institution won't even deal with them and have blocked all transactions to all customers using them.
I spoke to a bank representative and she told me that Visible has been reported to automatically incur transactions without notifying their clients.
That right there tells me they're a shady outfit, even though it's a sister company of Verizon.

So does anyone have any experience with spectrum as well?

Check out US Mobile. I've been with them for a few years now without any problems. CS via chat has been to notch as well.
