Visible’s basic unlimited plan is $40 cheaper than Verizon’s basic unlimited plan. Even Visible’s plus plan which includes Canada/Mexico is $20 cheaper. Why would anyone go with Verizon??? Visible coverage is great and even if it is prioritized, who needs super fast data all day when there’s WiFi everywhere?

VZ also throttles all MVNO's including the ones that they own. Sadly they still offer the best coverage and most data if you have been on for a while. It is sad though that the company provides much better service to all of their MVNO 'partners' because of service level agreements. This is why the shoemaker's kids have no shoes.
What is fascinating is that they did not march out of BR all of the eejits that set up all of these MVNOs to sell much of the same services, at much lower prices and much better customer service.
I drove across the country while using Visible prior to being employed by Verizon and I hit numerous spots where I had no service whatsoever in built up areas. Oklahoma may have been one of them, I hit a major dead spot in Iowa, one in Wisconsin. If you plan ahead it's not a big deal, but don't turn off your google maps if you need data.
If you have coverage locally and don't travel, I'd use Visible again. If I'm roadtripping across the country I'd rather have a company with roaming agreements.
Do VZ employees get a discount on visible plans
So Visible doesn’t offer service in OK? I doubt that’s true. Sure, you won’t get the fastest speeds, but who needs them.
Visible is owned by Verizon and sells the same network for less. This is why the stock is down. Sampath and Hans and SS have to go!

In my reading from last year and experience Visible will just use VZ networks which in major population centers is ok. If you drive through say OK you will lose service on visible while verizon would be able to use local providers.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS!
The $45 Visible plan includes "priority" data now (I think 50GB of it).
The word OP is looking for is deprioritized.
Wait was visible the years of consumer research that led to two plans like mint and lots of other companies offer?
VZ should get priority on data.
