    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.

      I’ve had an account with them since 2001.

      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.

            Maybe if you hadn’t been a condescending jackass in your first comment, he wouldn’t be angry at you. You didn’t just give a reason to hate AT&T; you made some unwarranted remarks about what you perceived the OP to think and were speaking down to them.

              Honestly, anyone who still uses AT&T must be oblivious or not care, so I stand by my condescending attitude. Sorry, buddy, go cry about it.

                You’re not even condescending. You’re just painting the picture accurately and he’s a sensitive shitty little brat taking it like your personality is even at all relevant. You’re being down voted and he’s being upvoted.

                Lemmy ain’t shit better than reddit when all the same jackass dumbasses keep crying about information being given to them on their behalf and benefit. Then they ignore that and cry.

                Seriously, keep it up. Some day some one will accept intelligence being delivered and thank you for being educative.

                I really wish I wasn’t being sarcastic.

                  I asked a question about THE SERVICE and this dumbass responded talking about something completely different. That’s not an accurate picture of the topic at hand, that’s changing the topic and then grabbing a soapbox and preaching things that I already know and wasn’t trying to discuss in the first place. There’s no intelligence being delivered here, which is pretty unfortunate for you because if you’re on his side you could surely use some.

            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
