I've also been on Mint for about 4 years. Didn't realize this until a couple of days ago when I looked at my billing info.

It's been mostly good, but MVNOs do get throttled traffic in some situations. When I lived in the SF Bay Area, it was somewhat annoying to frequently get throttled on a crowded BART train or just while walking around downtown in the middle of the day. But for the most part, it worked fine, and I adjusted to make things work better for me (download offline music and podcasts for commutes, that sort of thing). It's a great option for people who are cheap and patient about internet data speeds.
