Verizon baffles me with purchases like this. They have bought a lot of random companies like this and Yahoo with no real purpose, while effectively letting T-Mobile take the decisive lead on 5G. What were they thinking?
All of this is happening while they continue to hope their customers just put up with their congested wireless network by trying to ride of their old reputation of being the "best" while they jack up their plan prices for a network that is getting worse.
Is t-mobile actually usable now? I’ve tried them 2-3 times over the last decade and urban performance was generally acceptable (though even then with weird dead zones that made it tough to use) but it would always quickly fall over any time I was beyond suburban areas.
There's literally nothing that could get me to go back to T-Mobile.
Being a dumb pipe has less profit potential than being a multimedia utility ad delivery platform business.
