 ·AT&T DSL Service
| where is the real data??? Agreed. There should be some independently gathered data.
Few years ago, U.S. Cellular bought Cell One here, because Alltel buying them would've been considered too much of a monopoly. Now Verizon bought Alltel, giving them an even bigger footprint...
Least I don't have to pay for incoming phone calls or SMS/MMS with the "underdog" that is U.S. Cellular (though the option to have 3g here would be nice... every other carrier has it or will very soon... perhaps just jump to 4g??? Something besides miserably slow data would be nifty... I might consider a data plan if it was worth it.). Overall though, I'm happy enough with the phone service, and can see why they supposedly have a good retention rate (though I'd like to see the real data on whether they have a better retention/less churn than AT&T)
Competition? Yeah, if you mean they all charge about the same, provide ever more flimsy plastic phones with the latest chrome trim, glossy finish, lack of analog radios, batteries that die within a year, ETF fees, insane SMS/MMS rates, data rates, etc.
...In a general sense, they are all "about the same" when it comes to the above. Sure, there are minor discrepancies, a few better "deals" here and there, but from a general perspective they're all very close. |
