Service Sucks, But That Won't Stop People
Want to know why wireless service continues to suck? Because, while people are pissed off and hate bad service, they still prefer bad service over no mobile phones at all. People are increasingly saying they absolutely must have mobile phone service -- even as they complain about how terrible the quality of service is. What the study doesn't say is how things have changed over time, and it certainly seems like carriers have been at least putting more effort lately into being better at service -- though, there are still plenty of unhappy customers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
