Dude, t-Mobile is leagues better than AT&T or Verizon.

AT&T essentially bankrolled OANN, Trump's propaganda network. Verizon has done tons of shady stuff in the past as well.

Plus my bill for TMO has been constant (like the same) for years straight - no overages or surprise bills. Not going back to ATT/VZ for a long time if ever.

I've come to really regret my recent switch to Verizon Prepaid. They are very over-provisioned, which means anyone not on post-paid (i.e. MVNOs and to my disappointment, vzw prepaid) will get deprioritized to practically zero even with plenty of data available in the plan. I am unable to load even the simplest of web pages when this happens, which is a terrible state to be in when one is trying to check-in to a store to pickup an order, for example. I feel I would have gotten more enjoyment out of the money I am paying them if I had set it on fire. I am frantically looking for a less nasty alternative.

Where is this happening? We've had no problem using xfinity mobile, which is a verizon MVNO, in the Bay Area.

AT&T and Verizon have very checkered pasts, advocating to switch to them is ridiculous. That's not to say T-Mobile is perfect or even great, but at least for me they are the significantly lesser evil. That might just be down to the fact that they've only been around for 2 years.

I also can't complain that I get 8 lines of unlimited everything for $150.

What? I was using T-Mobile in 2018 in the US.

That was a typo, I meant 20 years.

Ah! That makes more sense then. Although as Facebook proves, plenty of companies under 20 years old have developed the evil gene.
