I think the issue is cost of infrastructure - signficantly more land to cover and larger population to serve. More towers, more cables, more equipment, more maintenance.
Too late. I already dropped them due to constant throttling and frequent no service, and when I did get service, it would frequently be below 300kbps. Really bad experience in my town.
Limits on video quality - gone
Limits on video quality - 40 GB, not sure where you find more nowadays other than Visible but that is 5 MBps
Limits on discount through work - the new unlimited plans allow work discounts.
I pay $36 a line, taxes and fees included, for this unlimited elite plan (10 line family plan). With the iPhone 12 promo, we have brand new iPhone 12's for literally free as long as we keep AT&T for 30 months. Unlimited data, HBO max included, etc. There's not a better deal that I know of.
With T-Mobile, I pay a flat $84 a month for unlimited data, text etc. for phone, watch, and iPad. My devices are paid in full so, there are no additional payments in that regard. I always pay in full at purchase.
I'm on the elite plan, it's ridiculously expensive but for the discount for first responders, teachers, et al.
Lots of options. For example, I have Cricket's $40 ($35 with autopay) plan, which is 10 GB of 4G data capped at 8 Mbps, plus unlimited calls and texts. That's enough data and speed for my needs.
Another option is Visible: https://www.visible.com/plan
Do you understand what a monopoly is?
also, Verizon offers Discovery+ and Disney+?
All the states do though. It may not be much but it’s there so they can say in all states.
Labor, too, but let's consider for the moment 48 contiguous states, each with their own laws, regulations, taxes, etc. For a massive privately-owned yet originally publicly owned cellular network, it's surprising it's as "cheap" as it is right now. The cellular market hasn't really been a bastion of red-hot competition we were all promised with deregulation but analogous to a "Cold War" between AT&T and Verizon, replete with snarky advertising and proxy price wars through their MVNOs.
The ones who really get soaked on subscriber fees are multi-line businesses and single-line individual subscribers.
I left AT&T after ten years and six generations of iPhones (the only reason I joined AT&T in the first place), but the monthly charge was more than the value of the cell and network service, and that's nothing to say about the customer service when I'd address the constantly dropped calls while in a static location and other non-trivial minutiae.
Some punk-ass at T-Mobile had the effrontery, unmitigated gall and temerity to approach me at Costco and ask if I'm happy with AT&T.
By the time I was finished with my diatribe, she was sorry her parents had ever met.
But I left with a new phone, new iPad, and new Apple Watch---all connected to a T-Mobile account (55 Magenta) at half the monthly cost of lesser service with AT&T.
I sold my AT&T shares, ever-dwindling, a month later.
This new promotion?
Nope.
They're up to no good.
Ten years of experience tells me so.

I don't.
Regardless of the interest being zero, the less I'm involuntarily tied to a company, the less they assault me with revision of terms/use of personal information/"new and improved and exciting" promotions/etc.
Pay once, and I'm done with their sales aggression.
Same.
I don't care what promotions they're running (0% is never zero percent; the consumer becomes the merchandise at that point); I don't like owing anyone anything if I can afford to buy it and get the heck out of the store.
The same was said about 4G back then. They'll catch up. I'll probably never use T-Mobile, but I'm glad they exist as competitors.
That's throwing away at least 3% yearly, or more like 15%, depending on how you look at the discount rate.
No, but they can include Hulu, ESPN+, Disney+, and Apple Music at the same highest tier level.
I prefer not to owe anyone. I was raised to pay cash and walk. It may not be to the liking of many others here but it works for me.
