AT&T is in the process of buying T-Mobile. And T-Mobile just aired a commercial trashing AT&T, basically, saying AT&T is slower, and costs more?
WTF?
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Until the buy out is complete, they're still direct competitors. I really hope my rates dont go (I'm with T-Mo). If they do, I'll probably just switch over to Verizon.

    At&T is becoming a very huge company. T-mobil was a strong player in the market but don't have the ability to go 10 rounds with the big dog.

    I think it's awesome. I have noticed the same thing and love seeing T-Mobile commercials because they are basically bashing themselves (I know the deal isn't final, but then this isn't near as funny).
    I know just enough to be dangerous, but don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm a genius. :D

    In my area, my T-Mo phone gets better reception in more places than AT&T. They also have a bigger 3.5G network than AT&T. They may not be as big, but at least here...theyre better. And less expensive to boot.

    I would love to go to Verizon, but I cant afford them without having to cut other places. I pay $63/mo for my cell phone which to me, is pushing it. I'd gladly pay less and just have a capped data plan since I have wifi at home and at work, so I don't use it that often.

    That's crappy. I was going to switch to T-mobile because I cannot upgrade my current phone without having to pay $25 extra a month (600 over a contract period) for a data plan that I won't use.... now I have to either stick with ATT and buy craigslist phones at twice or three times the price, while I don't get to use my money off phones... or I get to switch to verizon and get screwed with the same thing, while losing the major benefit of sim cards

    Yup from what I have read ATT wants T-Mobile to use their towers for data and their 4G network.

    If this deal goes through I could see Sprint folding into Verizon in the not so distant future as well....

    Then we all get super screwed....
