I'm a fan of the merger technology wise, but it is a monopoly move. Was considering switching to T-Mobile, but...

FWIW, I've been with AT&T, then Verizon (shitty billing) for two years, then (back to) Cingular, morphed back to AT&T. No land line since 1994, I prefer a cell phone.

If nobody calls ya, it's cheap with the rollover minutes taking care of busy times. Employer uses AT&T as well, so I never get charged for those calls. Works for me, the bill is always just under $50.

Drums are too modern. If you want to talk to me you'll have to walk on foot till you reach my cave.

I guess the T-Mobile vs AT&T spots (that ape the Mac vs PC spots) aren't long for the airwaves then, are they?

Enough reason to support the merger right there.

Some time in the last 2 weeks, AT&T has slowed down their internet connections. DSL and 3G has slowed down to a crawl. I have confirmed this with other users. I believe the focus is all 4G now. At home we use cable but mobile I'm with AT&T and my outdated 3G Moto Backflip.

Comcast is $pendy, but it's still the fastest game in this town. Gawd, I wish we had FIOS.

Bourdain totally cracks me up. I'll bet it would be a gas to hang with him for a day.
