![]() ![]() "For the most part, the service has been reliable, and efficient – especially for the price." He noted that it appears reliability and speed had increased, and that it was "generally just more efficient. Update: DecAway returned to his Mint Mobile service four months later and noted that it's still quite good. Reflecting on my experience with Mint Mobile so far, I have been able to achieve download speeds of up to 21.04mbps and 12.24mbps, with a top-end 13.79mbps and 9.99mbps upload speeds. First, objectively, I just paid roughly $12 bucks for 2GB of LTE data. However, is that necessarily bad? Well, the answer is that it depends. Mint Mobile users are naturally deprioritized, meaning in congested areas your bandwidth will be much more limited at times, which I attribute to the slower speeds that I received. While it's unlikely that T-Mobile is actively deprioritizing Mint Mobile traffic, it not be privy to the network's fastest speeds, especially during times of congestion.ĭecAway had a similar experience, but found that performance was mainly very good, and quite reliable:Īfter a week of using the service I can tell you that it's definitely not always "blazing" fast, as noted by Mint Mobile, but it can be… and it is adequate. He notes that, indeed, because Mint Mobile is an MVNO - an alternative carrier - it must piggyback off a larger network, which in this case is T-Mobile. This could be an issue with the Mint Mobile being de-prioritized over T-Mobile customers, or something with the connection itself as sometimes, simply turning airplane mode on, and off again, will get things going. Performance seemed to be a little inconsistent – even immediately after getting a good speed test, I would sometimes struggle to open a web page. dpham00 said that his experience was inconsistent: All four reviewers agreed that performance was good, not great and that it varied wildly depending on the time of day and the location. ![]()
