Tmo went anti consumer over last 2 years.

"Inflation" and don't get me started on 5g. So much money spent but nothing to really show for it. What is it doing what LTE hasn't done?

IIRC, 5g is a much nicer generation for the carriers than for consumers. It can be more easily deployed with microcells on light poles vs requiring the tall cell towers. There's ultra-wideband, which is definitely faster, but plain 5g is roughly the same, just easier to roll out.

Thank you!

Don't we all love funding CapEx of a shiti compamy that really doesn't even benefit us?
