Is that what’s going on? So often since I switched to Mint I’ll have full bars and can’t do anything online.

That's every third party lease phone service and the difference between paying for a company that owns their own towers or network like Verizon, t mobile, and at&t, compared to any of the ones like mint who just use the towers that any of the above carriers own. If you use anything like Mint, you get bumped to the bottom of the bandwidth availability.

Otherwise why would anyone pay more for the same service?
