There is a connection between Google (or is it Alphabet) and Bandwidth.com (the Republic Wireless parent company) that I can't quite figure out. Google Voice is mostly based on Bandwidth.com technology, and Republic Wireless and Google Fi are very similar products. Republic Wireless even claims they are about to release a dual-carrier option like Project Fi which they call Tempo.
It is possible that they are just competing, but it seems like there is more of a link there.
I can verify. "Seamless" in this case means "I often don't even notice". If I'm directly watching I can sometimes see it and correlate it to a small dropout but it's nothing that doesn't happen all the time on cell phones anyhow; it's below the noise threshold.
Can also confirm, handover is smooth on republic. The 1GB plan is a little lower than Google Fi as well. 2GB is the same cost as Google, 3GB is slightly higher.

Republic Wireless is sticking to Motorola phones, there is that connection.
