T-Mobile was once an entertaining semi-upstart in U.S. mobile phone service, but it became a sleazy operation. Customers who believed a promise about a lifetime price are the latest victims of a cartel that couldn't care less about them.
@dangillmor It really does feel that way as a customer. The only thing keeping me (for now) is their superior call quality and fast data speeds. I need both of those together and neither of the other carriers checked those boxes for me. Perhaps time to go back to an MVNO.
@dangillmor My bill only goes down, because I paid off my phone.
Otherwise, I am paying the same that I paid when switching 12+ years ago.
Shoot, $5/month? That nothing. Compare it to the changes in DirecTV pricing during that same period: my bill went from $125 to $300, and I still lost channels that they shifted to higher tiers.
@dangillmor "lifetime" anything is usually a con trick.
Inflation alone means that at some time the price will be "almost free".
BTW, so are SLA in most cases.
So your cloud provider f%cks up your business for a week? I'm sure that returning the fees that you would normally have to pay for your non-working cloud environment will save your business from bankruptcy.
