I've finally had it with Verizon. Who's found good alternatives?

Visible, ironically, it's owned by Verizon and uses the same network with 5G. $25/month, unlimited data and unlimited hotspot. Very happy with it!

The Visible plan is really good, but keep the following in mind when comparing it to Verizon and other providers:

1. Visible's hotspot is limited to 5mbps
2. Visible is limited to the Verizon network.

What is your frustration with them? coverage, support, price? That may help narrow down your needs.

If coverage is your issue - switching to another provider using the same network isn't exactly going to help....

We travel in an RV and use the hot spot instead of the camp ground WiFi. We have yet to have an issue with coverage or speed. We even stream to the laptop and HDMI to the TV. Yes we have some hiccups but hey, that's life. Very happy with Visible.

I've been using Selectel for the last 7 years & haven't had any issues. They use Verizons Network, but aren't owned or affiliated with Verizon.
They're a Canadian company so the few times I've talked to them I've heard a little Canadian accent. Customer service has always been excellent. You can use your Verizon phone on their network. A CDMA phone.
