I’m on prepaid plan with no signs of delay


iPhone X
My phone constantly can't get to internet if there is a big crowd around like a city . Verizon wants me to pay an extra $10 a month to go to the next tired plan that doesn't throttle. This never used to happen. My even older plan used to not throttle tills 26gb but my current budget everything plan throttles at 1st gb if in a city or a concert or a crowd

The way it's being discussed on Reddit, it isn't throttled, but deprioritized, meaning that the basic unlimited plans that don't include a supply of "premium data" get placed behind those who do have some premium data.
So you can get full speed data depending on the tower, or you may get crap.

Most of the time when in town in a workday I get almost no data it's not just slow but barely resposive

We're currently on an older 24Gb plan for $110/month, split between 6 users.
Plus, 5 of the users have a bonus 2Gb/month for life, so we start with 34Gb/month.
It is not deprioritized data.

I have go unlimited cheapest grandfathered plan plan . Includes hot spot and unlimited but deprioritizes almost immediately. Verizon says go to start unlimited which is $5 cheaper but u lose the hotspot which would cost $10 to add . It also says can deprioritizes anytime but for now they are prioritizing over the older plans so they say. Debating what to do.
