I must say I really like having Karl around on TD. The stuff he covers is I think important to many (all?) of us here and I hope he stays a while and continues his excellent contributions.
If this goes through it will be an UNMITIGATED DISASTER for the consumer. There's not enough competition in ISP land as it is, and with this there would be even less.
If the ATT/T-Mobile merger didn't go through, how the f**k could this possibly get approved? It's 2x the ATT/TMO deal ($45B vs. I think $23B).
Maybe Com-ass-t gets better hookers for their FCC flunkies than ATT did. God forbid this actually gets approved.
This whole Prenda saga is like a giant Fuck You to the entire legal system. They're saying we can be complete douchebags to anyone and everyone, lie cheat & steal, and there ain't a goddamn thing you or anyone else can do about it.
Where in the blue fuck is the IRS when you actually NEED them?
I switched to T-Mo last year after putting up with AT&T's bullshit for years. T-Mo for me is cheaper, their data plan is better, and overall they're not asshats like ATT. Those are all wins in my book.
Then they rolled out unlimited international roaming text & data and I was even more glad I switched.
The only downside is their coverage is not quite as good. But for me it's good enough. If they had ATT's coverage with their increasingly customer-friendly attitude, they'd mop the floor with ATT.
Hey "Mr." Redding, let's get this straight, douchebag. Invoking Hitler, the holocaust, or nazism automatically means you lose the argument, whatever it may be about.
You know there's really no need to insult people of faith, of which I am one. It's a life choice, after all.
That said, there's no way in hell I would ever send that kind of money to anyone who wasn't close family. This woman exercised poor judgment, and is very lucky she was able to get at least part of her $$$ back.

The only downside is their coverage, but hopefully that'll be improving the more customers they lure away from ATT.
I still say ATT can suck it.
