Mint mobile is a cheap budget cellular carrier that uses T-mobile's network. It is designed for people who use less data and T-mobile throttles the fuck out of it.
Creating a regular account through AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile directly is suppose to mean that you don't get throttled to death. Your average download speed should be at least 20 MB per second. With pre-paid cellular service your average download speed could be 10 times less, maybe 2 MB per second.
