is straight talk throttled...?

Is Straight Talk Verizon the same as regular Verizon speed wise...?

Would depend on the area, but the service from Straight Talk would not be as good as from Verizon.

I have a Note 8 pre-ordered and am thinking that 8g might be enough... I currently am using Straight Talk with my Moto G5 and it seems okay, but sometimes it is slow, but not any slower than my old Note 3 was on Sprint... I saw Tom's review giving Straight Talk his lowest review and it said that it is limited to a speed of 5g... I was under the impression (from the Walmart salesman, I know) that it was using Verizon towers and was exactly the same as Verizon service... I wonder... hmmm... I am happy with $48 no contract a month (my cost...)
