I am currently in the USA.
I very quickly realised that 10GB of mobile data wasn’t going to cut it for me. I roamed onto AT&T with my Three SIM which did indeed work and it works incredibly well. There is a massive improvement in data load times compared to the old days when mobile data would be incredibly slow and unusable. Problem is i forgot to turn off Photo uploads on mobile data so my data allowance got very quickly eaten.
So I ended up buying a SIM while I was here. I bought an unlimited sim for 50usd with Verizon so I can get a feel of what it’s like to use the network.
If you don’t hate mmWave Verizon’s 5G network is utter pants. I have not once hit 100mbit/s on 5G.
I’ve mostly been on Bands 66 and N66 while here. The Verizon network uses DSS on non mmWave connections. I’ve yet to see mid band 5G but I know it exists.
