No it's not, now T-Mobile will have as much leverage as Verizon and AT&T and will become horrible like them. T-Mobile so far is nice here, but for example in Germany is one of the despised companies.
The companies don't need to merge to become better for customers. They could for example have agreements and share their towers to improve each other's coverage.

- dylz 7y agoCan you explain why? I am not German but I have fairly significant amount of infrastructure colo'd in Germany - DTAG/T-Mobile/T-Online/whatever is obnoxiously bad. They refuse to peer with neighbouring networks, they hold back deployment of local connectivity (DSL is still the best you can do in 2019?), they demand the doubly charge in the way of Netflix v Comcast. Sending data to/from with any customers on their network (which, of course, considering how big they are...) costs so much more per megabit due to this bullshit.
- germanier 7y agoDespite that they are still regarded as one of the least bad telcos because their customer service sucks much less than that of their competitors (e.g. Telefonica O2, which is a large one, was basically impossible to contact for most customers for months at a time because of "technical difficulties"). Their mobile network is comparably good and all in all they are seen as the premium option on the German market.
