So much hostility toward T-Mobile. Don't worry, if the Sprint merger goes through they'll go back to sucking just as much as... Sprint.

Yeah, it seemed as if the author was personally wronged by Legere and wants to exact revenge via the article. Strangely though, he doesn't make a big deal of T-Mobile throttling video while mentioning that Verizon is violating net neutrality by doing the same thing.

  > Verizon will undoubtedly exclaim that it, too, needs to throttle video in order to keep up with T-Mobile. The latter carrier is at least violating the spirit of net neutrality at the moment. They were talking about T-Mobile violating net-neutrality, not Verizon.

    Oops, yeah I totally misread that.

I've been a happy Sprint customer for a long time. What do people dislike about it?

  As a company, I actually like them better than Verizon or AT&T. However their network coverage and performance have always been subpar in my experience. Granted, these things are heavily dependent on your location. But I lived in a crowded suburb of a major city, and I had to go outside to make a phone call.

    Their coverage has been improving dramatically this year, I went to visit my grandfather in rural Nezperce, ID - previously only Verizon had coverage there, now on the southern half of town I get (fairly flaky, but still there) T-Mobile coverage as of May. This dinky town is 60 minutes from the closest small city, and 30 minutes away from any of the large towns in the area! T-Mobile's network is getting better every day, but it still has a long way to go in many aspects - but as someone on a grandfathered Simple Choice plan who is paying something like $160/mo for 7 lines with 2GB of high-speed data each I can't complain too much.

I would hope that Softbank would look at the performance of T-Mobile and put their execs in charge.
