Exactly what I'm trying to make everyone understand myself. It'll be fine everyoneWhy do you guys keep focusing on that crap? Who cares about de-prioritization????? It's not the boogeyman like everyone says it is! If you live in a heavily congested area, your speeds will suffer anyway. Every network does it so please stop mentioning it every 2 seconds. Even when networks are congested, the speeds are still usable, you can watch YouTube or read your emails just fine - and that's what matters. You don't need 40mbps or 20mbps, but companies are nice enough to allow you to get those speeds when possible. Cricket sums it up the most, 8mbps is more than enough for most people, 8mpbs = 1MB/PS. To stream 1080P YouTube videos you need 4-5mbps, and 1080P60FPS is 7-8. Even in congested areas my Verizon speeds were well above 8mbps, infact, they were almost always 16 or higher, even in congested areas after I used 22GB.
If a network is so bad when it gets de-prioritized, then the network is garbage anyway and you probably wouldn't enjoy good speeds to begin with. T-Mobile in my area is ultra congested and you'd be lucky to get over 5mbps during peak hours, it's horrible. I can't imagine how bad Sprint is.
TL;DR
De-Prioritization is on every network and YES Verizon does it at 22GB and not "whenever they feel like it". If your speeds suffer that bad when you are past the 2XGB mark, then your cellular provider is probably trash anyway. Congested is Congested, putting anyone at the top of the list for data isn't going to help that much if the tower really can't handle all of the connections. Just be happy you have a choice when it comes to Unlimited.
