I'm a long-time T-Mobile customer, and I believe, 100%, they're worse since the merger and it's probably at least in some measure related. The merger definitely didn't help me. Once I needed to make a change to my plan (and therefore could no longer remain grandfathered into my old plan) I was paying more for service that has not been as good. We've also got AT&T in our house, and it's far worse, even after the degradation of T-Mobile. I think if the premise behind this lawsuit is that the consolidation did the damage, though, the plaintiffs have quite a row to hoe. Sprint was circling the drain prior to the merger. Can they argue that Sprint just going away and having their assets (like spectrum licenses) sold off to satisfy creditors after they went bankrupt was healthier for competition? That seems highly speculative. I'm not sure what the solution is, and I don't think the merger was good, but I don't see that disallowing it would've improved this particular market.
