Verizon-Owned Network Visible Begins Selling iPhones, Offers $40/Month Unlimited Data Up to 5 Mbps

The available models include the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone SE, with device payments ranging from $10 to $60 per month.
Visible also supports Android devices now, starting with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The network previously operated on a bring-your-own-iPhone basis.
Last, the network has launched a new Visible Protect plan with access to AppleCare. Available in select markets, starting at $10 per month, the plan provides protection against accidental damage, loss, theft, and out-of-warranty hardware failure, with the option for same-day service for new iPhone devices.
Verizon quietly launched Visible in May 2018 as a digital, app-based carrier that offers unlimited text, talk, and data with speeds up to 5 Mbps for $40 per month, inclusive of taxes and fees. The mobile virtual network operator relies on Verizon's nationwide 4G LTE network in the United States.

5 mbps is dial up by todays standards. Might as well as leave out data entirely.
You can stream video at 3 mbps. What more do you need?
Sure I have gigabit fiber to my home, but I don't need to download 4K movies to my barely full HD iPhone while I am wandering around town away from wifi. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind unlimited data with restricted bandwidth if it came with a reduced monthly bill. 5 Mbps is plenty for how I use my phone.

No I think dial-up is still dial-up by today's standards. 5 mbps is not too bad, especially compared to dial-up.

These lower end brands not to mention lower speed normally have a reduced priority on the wireless tower. I used one of AT&T's lower brands before and in areas where there wasn't congestion it was perfect, but go into the city etc. and you'd get no signal before the full on AT&T customers did.
So keep in mind if you plan on using it in congested areas for Verizon.

You guys are insane if you think you *need* more than 5Mbps on your phone.
As long as it's a good _steady_ 5Mbps that's plenty!
Sure - I have 250Mbps at my house... but my fiance and I both work from home and we have multiple 4k TVs that can be streaming simultaneously.
But my phone? 5Mbps is plenty for the odd video on Youtube... and MORE than enough for everything else.
It all depends on how steady it is. If it can dish up 5Mbps almost all the time... then I might just switch myself...

5megabits? That’s barely useable. I get 17megabits on LTE in Boise and it’s noticeably hitchy.
