Exactly. As an economics major, this is all I really care about. Who cares about the subtle differences in connection and network. This country is getting bought out, the rich getting richer. The big growing bigger. Now that 'small' companies (T-mobile) can't survive, how much harder will it be for people who want to start their own business? Studying economics in college is making me more and more pessimistic about my future. Exon, Apple, GE, Microsoft, Google, they're all just going to capitalize our market.
But I don't want Subaru to turn into boring Toyota...

From my experience that is how it works. In areas where one loses service, the other gets it. When I go to Tahoe it is opposite on the mountain. I have service while my buddy with Verizon doesn't

Maybe this is the reason my Tmo services was fluctuating especially in areas where the tower is nearby. Hopefully this might work out, if not, ill switch to verizon due to the employee discount

No the guy that ran Disney did and spring has not made money the last 4 years. The billionaire running the company is spending his own money to jeep the company going. Sad because sprint is good with service I had them before I started my new job

Get ready for horrible customer service that their own AT&T techs hate. The call center which each department ( DSL / Phone / Telvision ) don't talk to each other or can see each others notes to troubleshoot a problem. As a IT myself dealing with their call center to get a simple Binding Post at the demarcation point to hook up a new service to a resident on base it takes them 20 times to tranfer you to the right department and 1 hour of being on the phone and still not give you the right info. Bring Back Catherine Zeta Jones !!!!!!!

You know why Verizon is better? The service is better and I think it will always be better since ATT is so f'ing cheap when it comes to their service coverage...
Im so glad I have verizon and not ATT anymore.
