The continued enshitification continues.

Not a happy customer, between this and the talk of Musk buying T-Mobile :(

I was on tmo for 15 years. Switched to Mint and am paying less for both phone and home internet and its tmo’s network still. Unless you’re taking advantage of some of their odd benefits there no reason to stick with them.

Look at MVNOs. They use the big three networks (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) but are much cheaper because you are not paying the uninformed tax.

If T-Mobile does this I'm gone. SimpleChoice had free international roaming which we use yearly when we visit family. Everyone on my family plan uses it and It was an amazing feature at the time now they charge per month, per line. Been on T-Mobile for 19 years.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I get this, we have retired 3G and people bought unlimited 4G 10/month packages which are defo going to be retired at some stage.

The one I cant figure out is the home fibre, a new crowd offer 500gb speeds for 30/month for life. It would take a long time for that bandwidth to become antiquated.

Friendly reminder that 5G service availability in the US is still dogshit and often incurs packet loss which you can mitigate by disabling 5G which forces your device to operate at 4G/LTE which has a superior range.

Of course they could have set a software preference for LTE over 5G when PL is detected, but that advanced technology used by literally every other multiband radio standard is too complicated for billion dollar OEMs and service providers to implement.

hmmm will see, I'm month to month with a 15$ plan. been meaning to look into alternatives anyway.
