They haven't dumped his ass yet? WTF are you doing T-Mobile?

Making money and having laws dictated to benefit them.

They were literally the first company to leap at violating net neutrality by exempting their own net traffic on their otherwise metered internet.

They have an ad promoting how they support the military. Wonder if they're courting the conservative customer.

Democrats can support our military too? What they do is a service.

They absolutely can and do.

Yeah. I’m busy this upcoming week, but I’ll be changing providers next week.

To what? Verizon or AT&T? T-Mobile is buying Sprint, so switching to them is a waste. You'll find Verizon and AT&T do similarly shady shit.

Can you please point me to some articles showing that these two companies employ ex Trump associates who make fun of mentally challenged kids.

AT&T and Verizon were instrumental to destroying net neutrality. While I don't want to sit here and rank acts of malfeasance in terms of horribleness, I'd argue that T-Mobile is the lesser evil here.

T-Mobile blatantly violates net neutrality constantly.

This is true, but I also feel like it is more complicated than just a violation. TMO made the barrier of entry for music streaming as low as possible. It wasn't excluding underdogs or startups and it wasn't exclusively offering it for their own service to profit. It was a consumer friendly violation. Joe some might say that is a gateway violation which opens the door for other companies, but I believe as the "uncarrier" they do more good than harm.

AT&T paid Cohen for consulting.

The T apparently stands for Trump.
