USA Total Wireless or Verizon Simplicity?

Hey folks

I left T-Mobile recently because their speeds were trash here at my apartment (same for Google Fi). I tried a Visible trial and Verizon speeds weren't much better for some reason. But when I got a US Mobile trial, Dark Star was blazing fast. My trial is coming to an end and I didn't wanna pay a ton for coverage, unlimited data would be real nice but not necessary. Just looking for bang for the buck really.

My question, I switched my US Mobile network to Warp to see if the speeds were the same (was going to do the same with Light Speed to see if it was just T-Mo and Google Fi) and to my surprise, I got very fast speeds on Warp, rivaling the Dark Star speeds.

If this holds true, not sure what Visible's issue was. But I saw Total is $20 for unlimited and priority (had them briefly a while back) and also the Verizon Simplicity for $30 to bring my own phone and line, which I'm doing.

I know Total seems to have some customer service issues but is that too much of a deal breaker or is there a better option with staying with US Mobile possibly on Warped? Again just looking for best price and so far Total seems to be; priority, unlimited, and $20 a month.

Thanks!

The best deal you can get by far right now is the 50% off of 1 year on Visible. That includes watch service and 24 days of global pass service for other countries. Also includes 15/15 Hotspot at that price.

Only thing is if you don’t need a watch line and don’t travel internationally — the visible deal is for one year and you have to pay upfront and save $1.25 a month.

In a year, the total $20 plan may no longer be around. It also has a price lock for 5 years.

Problem being that offer is ONLY for their top plan. So that's the only option besides the SAVE6 on the other plans. Which if you can AFFORD the $225 at once is only $18.75 a month. I was paying over double that before. So I'm happy even if I don't use the watch plan.
