AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon goaded into customer service showdown {Engadget}
Sep 29th 2009 6:23PM Had Cingular in college. Nothing but trouble. Mean representatives. Bitchy support. Ended up eating the money to terminate the contract early. (It was worth it.) My understanding is that when Cingular and AT&T merged, AT&T ended up with Cingular-style customer service.
Anyhow, switched to T-Mobile when I left Cingular. Been with them seven years now. Out of contract for five. I have not left because every single problem I have ever had has been promptly and courteously addressed. They aren't push-overs but they definitely strike the appropriate balance between being a business -- run for a profit -- and doing right by their customers.
As an additional extra, longtime subscribers were recently awarded unlimited voice plans for 50 bucks a month -- no contract extension required. This was ten bucks more than my already very excellent plan but for many more minutes. I now pay 75 monthly for unlimited voice and data, killed my other phone, and finally got (much needed) internet-to-go.
If you don't need an iPhone and get solid coverage in your area, I recommend T-Mobile wholeheartedly.

Blockbuster hamstrings Total Access rental plan {Engadget HD}
Apr 7th 2009 12:47PM I went to Netflix after this happened. Blockbuster ALWAYS had terrible selection but five or six movies out at a time was worth it. When they changed the terms, I bailed.
