   T-Mobile was once an entertaining semi-upstart in U.S. mobile phone service, but it became a sleazy operation. Customers who believed a promise about a lifetime price are the latest victims of a cartel that couldn't care less about them.

     @allen099 @dangillmor MVNOs are dying left and right due those same big three carriers buying them. They're few and far between these days. :(

     @dangillmor It really does feel that way as a customer. The only thing keeping me (for now) is their superior call quality and fast data speeds. I need both of those together and neither of the other carriers checked those boxes for me. Perhaps time to go back to an MVNO.
