ATT agreed it bribed a lawmaker

Ok since it's 100% in full transparency occuring. Can we finally get law makers to single source single limit donations. Also can we get citizens united overturned ?

Corporation are not people and clearly break laws intentional. I beat this fine is pennies compared to the next decades worth of profit ATT makes.

Bribing?

I'm surprised that AT&T is the only one caught in a pay for vote scheme. The others are just better and making clandestine arrangements.

Surprise! Price is main driver of broadband provider choice

Cable companies are starting to feel the heat from actual competition from 5g in areas where they didn’t have competition before. The thing is, the 5g internet service doesnt have to be better or even as good as cable, but rather good enough to stream at 4k and connect to teleconference calls (webex, zoom, microsoft) and people will switch because in many cases the cheapest cable internet plan is like $75 while 5g is $25-$50.

I switched from spectrum to tmobile over a year ago and save $300 a year.

For low use/ back up phone the best IMO is Page Plus. Verizon network including off network roaming, perfect as back up/fail over for my TMO phone. Costs me around $ 38/year including taxes/fees.
