So you're right, the Topic Review in Advanced Mode doesn't show that far back. But it still is irrelevant as it cuts both ways. How good T-Mobile and AT&T is in his area is just as useless to me and doesn't change the fact that I prefer Sprint.
Can't say I am too upset by this. We need more competition in the wireless market, not less. Good news about the Cash and Spectrum going to T-Mobile as well. They could use the boost.
I went with Virgin Mobile about 3 months back. I'd heard about a possible takeover and went elsewhere. 55 a month for unlimited everything. No contract, but if you go that route, you buy your own phone. I'm happy with it.
I just realized that Charlie Ergen (the man behind DISH network/Echostar and the nearest thing to Ted Turner in the game these days) has been vewy, vewy quiet recently. Here's a link to a story that speculates on a DISH/Spring merger. Lot's of interesting implications here, especially now that it looks like AT&T+T-Mobile won't happen. LINK
