I'm an xfinity mobile customer, three lines sharing 10gb. Can't beat the price. This past weekend was the first time I experienced any issues with deprioritization, and I was at the Tidal Basin for the Cherry Blossom Festival among a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people.

I'd like to see them support Android devices other than Pixels and Samsung - I had to keep a separate account on Ting for my kid's handed down Moto G6. That Moto is now dead so I don't have that problem anymore, but I would like to try a Surface Duo just for the novelty, and xfinity mobile is a barrier.

I know a few folks that use the Xfinity service and they haven't had a problem with it throttling down, and personally I have Mint which uses T-Mobile's network and haven't seen any issues with that either, nor my other friends on other MVNO carriers. I pay 15 bucks a month with 4GB of data, but we'll see how things go now that T-Mobile bought Mint from Ryan Renyolds...

Burlington coat factory and then getting it tailored. Honestly anything plus tailoring will look better than expensive suits off the rack. Especially if your teenage is weird shaped

I'm not sure how it is now that they were sold to another company, but the Brooks Brothers outlet in Williamsburg always did me right with suits that look good and won't break the bank...

Macy's in Short Pump has a decent selection right around that price. Better than Men's Wearhouse or Jos. A. Bank in my opinion.

Franco's most inexpensive suits come in right around $400 mark but are a better value for the quality you are getting.

had it for a few years now too, never had any issues.

additionally: I upgraded from the 'free Samsung' to an iphone when the Samsung got water damaged... was easy, and unlike my experience with Comcast internet, xfinity mobile doesn't keep randomly increasing my bill...

Yeah and why does picnic food smell and taste different? I swear I can make the same thing and eat it outside at home and it tastes totally different. Maybe it's because I hate picnics...

And picnics are such a modern thing too. Back in the day when you had to kill or grow everything I'm pretty sure nobody said, "Hey let's take our shit and go eat it somewhere else."

Watch Naked and Afraid while eating and you will never look at picnics the same ever again.

I have had xfinity mobile for a couple of years and have never had any problems with deprioritization.

The only issue is you can’t really go into a store to get customer service and getting support via phone can be difficult.

I sure hope people are making that choice rather than waiting. There's been a lot of studies recently on quicker transport to a trauma hospital versus EMS care in the field / on the way, and the take-away as far as I can tell is that faster transport to the hospital is much more important for survival and other outcomes than involvement of EMS.

Here's some of the studies:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S002013831400271Xhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5912155/
