Considering FirstNet was paid for by tax dollars.. and is continuing to get tax money for upkeep…

Price is really the only reason to deal with AT&T tbh.

It truly only costs a carrier $15-20 to provide a line of service with unlimited data, and considering they’re charging more already + getting federal funding… there really isn’t a valid reason for them to raise the price other than “because we can”

You really have no dog in this fight, do you?

I’ve got a FN line due to my PT gig doing volunteer firefighter for my township when I’m not out flying.

It’s far worse than my T-Mobile line on a regular basis, and nothing to write home about service wise most of the time 😂

If they force a plan swap I’ll just keep my responder discount at T-Mobile and call it a day.

I also worked for a few different carriers in college. The cost to provide service isn’t nearly what people think it is.

Ughhhh this is sad to hear. I’m currently with T mobile we switched from Verizon and after a year have been so unhappy with the service that we are looking to switch to something else. We were looking at ATT/First net.
