The most effective way to resist the authoritarian takeover of our democracy is to make it clear to companies partnering with authoritarians that there will always be consequences for such business relationships.
Problem is all phone carriers are Trump supporters in America and before you suggest a carrier keep in mind they are owned by one of the big 4. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular . And US Cellular is being bought out by T-Mobile.
Doesn’t matter, Boost, Cricket etc are all owned by the 3 major carriers. Hell even a company that isn’t own by one of them still has to pay one of the 3 to use their lines, so in a long way around your still paying one of the 3. They own all the lines and the towers. We used to bust up monopolies but those days are long gone.
CREDO is the least worst, I think. Yeah, they’re still paying Verizon to use their infrastructure, but they also make a point of providing both funding and direct activism for progressive causes.
Of course! We always eventually end up with two players in each industry. Because if there’s two, that means there is no monopoly, and there is ‘competition’ in the ‘free market’! Also, there is never any collusion or price fixing, trust me! Rejoice!

Close. They rely on/use the physical network of one or many of them.
Exactly. I have TMo. They used to be the least worst option. I hate the others even moreso. Who do I go to?

Boost is actually on it’s own 5G network. It’s owned by DISH Network.
And Dish Network support Trump.
Eventually one of the three will eat the other two. Shareholders rejoice!

They’re not necessarily owned by them, but they surely have deals with them to use their networks, so the big carriers make money anyway.
