    Is AT&T known for having shitty service nationwide or something or is this just a “big company bad durhur” meme? Where I live, they’re easily the best of the big carriers. I’d love to switch to someone else, but they have the best coverage by far and I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a service outage. I despise them as a company, but I can’t complain a bit about their service and I’ve had an account with them since 2001.

      I think their cell service is pretty bad. I have their fiber and it’s great.

      In the middle. Big telecom companies are shitty and infamous for bad service.

      Oh so your phone habits and data were totally illegally spied on.

      Funny how you have been a customer that long and have missed that. AT&T isn’t just any old phone company, it is one that facilitates illegal domestic spying on US citizens.

      Don’t forget they were never prosecuted because the Bush admin granted them retroactive immunity for their part in a warrantless domestic spying program.

      AT&T is about as evil as you can get in a phone company.

        Hey assclown, I was asking about their service. I even said I would love to switch to another company for a multitude of reasons, but they are the only provider in my area that provides reliable service. They are literally the only company that has a tower close enough to my work to penetrate the walls and work inside so almost everyone there is forced to have them if they want them or not.

        Chill with your condescending holier than thou attitude about what I do and don’t know. I was referring directly to the service, which, all other issues aside, has been absolutely great for me across the period of 23 years and half a dozen different cities of varying sizes.

          Wow pretty fuckin angry at a valid reason to dislike AT&T. Do you spend all your time online jerking off the companies you already pay money to? You asked for why people don’t like them, I gave you a reason. Sorry you think warrantless spying isn’t that big of a fucking deal. That was the day I changed providers and never looked back.

            I’m not angry at your valid reason to dislike them, I’m annoyed at you being too stupid to discuss the actual topic that I was asking about.

            It must be hard going through life being an absolute moron.

        All carriers do this. The hilarious part is you pretend you’re protected because you switched providers. What a lol
