Did anyone honestly think we were going to get out of the old cable world paying less for a better service? This is America, this is capitalism. We're going to drive it right off the cliff (yes, I know there are streaming services base

This is not correct. As of Q3 2023 T-Mobile is number two by subscriber count: * Verizon Wireless: 143.3 million (Q2 2023) * T-Mobile US: 116.7 million (Q2 2023) * AT&T Mobility: 105.2M million (Q2 2023) source: https://en.wi
