    In SoCal it can get pretty bad, and I’ve been to Disneyland and other events (concerts/sports) where the phone simply doesn’t work at all. I’m on a Verizon MVNO right now that seems to be fine, but the AT&T and T-Mobile based ones both have issues around here.

          This is correct, as many people have pointed out though, this is an urban issue. Priority data doesn’t really play into the world of rural users who don’t have enough people in town to congest their single tower
