There must be some sound technical justifications for what AT&T has done, but this extremely hostile to the customer base.

They also retain metadata on users for seven years, longer than any other carrier.

I really should have left long before I did.

ATT, the company with the Death Star as their logo, is hostile to their customer base? Say it is not so...

ATT is the worst company, even worse than comcast. Doing something to just be hostile to their customer base is in their DNA, they are used to their monopoly status from the say of Bell Telephone, that company will never change and will never be customer friendly
