We No Longer Need a Big Carrier's Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way
We No Longer Need a Big Carrier's Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way
We are overpaying for phone plans from Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Budget wireless services, similarly fast and robust, can save thousands.
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Small wireless is still subject to the whims of big wireless. They all run on the same towers. And big wireless owns them.
Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the very noticeable deprioritization.
In Australia they tower owners have to provide access to the smaller players. You can use any provider and get the same tech, but it depends on the area the small players have accessed, as to whether or not they will suit.
For example, Aldi mobile runs off the Telstra towers. But it doesn't have all of them, only selected areas.
