I've been with AT&T for exactly a year now. The service is good for the most part but ever since trying them out with the very first iPhone, I still to this day can't get service at my house here in Denver. At least now, we have WiFi calling so that issue is much less important was it was in 2007.
Thank you Japanese Guy. I like Japan. It's great country full of great sushi eating people. JK
I believe you're dramatically underestimating the stupidity of the average consumer.Where did they say that?
Walk into any electronics store worth its salt and ask what the difference between QLED and OLED is, and they'll tell you. It's not something anyone is trying to hide. And no one is going to see the price difference between your average QLED and OLED TV and mistakenly think they're the same technology or same quality.
Come on.It's not even comparable to what AT&T is doing.
If you want a hypothetical comparison to what AT&T is doing, that would be if Samsung released a 4K TV and referred to it as OLED-Q.
I've used Sprint for my mobile service for 20 years; it used to have coverage issues, but in the last 5 years it has much improved, and with the advent of data/phone service over WiFi for indoors environments most of my coverage issues are now moot. I have used AT&T UVerse for Gigabit internet and television service over their fiber optic network the last five years or so. I'm pleased with both companies for the genres I purchase from them. As for the 5G hoopla, even when it becomes available it appears it will be very expensive at the outset. We'll probably need to wait another 5 years for the infrastructure to mature before prices will come down enough to offer much value for most people.
The older common carrier services with transportation are indeed languishing, a predicament brought about beginning with the Reagan tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. Over time that has led to lack of repair and investment - self fulfilling prophecy. As former spokesperson Grover Norquist poetically put things for the Republican agenda for the last 40 years, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." We are now witnessing the results of that witticism coming to the fore.All of which suck and are languishing for lack of repair and reinvestment.
The internet on the other hand, not so much.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. (Sounds errilie like Trump's tweet today re Boeing software complexity)
So, I Googled "HSPA+ ITU"...
There were Obama's net neutrality laws, but they weren't enforced perfectly. Cell carriers unquestionably violated that, like TMo with their "binge on" promotion. Scariest part is that average people praised it, with a large intersection between those people and those who are "pro net neutrality."
Everyone does it. I'm not saying it's ok.
I don't see what net neutrality has to do with the pricing if you're still paying the same for everything.
Samsung rebranded their SUHD to Q in response to the OLED success. There are numerous instances of consumer confusion as a result. It is the same product, just a name change on the technology. They knew exactly what they were doing. Sony refers to the tech as Trilumnous
Sorry, I mean you're paying the same amount regardless of what kind of internet packets you're sending/receiving. Like which websites you visit, whether you use FaceTime audio or Skype, whether you stream Netflix in 4K or 1080p, etc. But maybe they charge more for faster speeds or more data usage, and again it's irrespective of what type of packets. That's what net neutrality is. TMo violated this by making Netflix traffic free while the others still count towards your data usage.
