T-Mobile is siding with the Trump Administration and far-right extremists like Elon Musk. It’s time for people of conscience to find a better phone carrier.

T-Mobile is partnering with fascist Elon Musk’s satellite company Starlink, funneling profits into Musk’s pockets through its T-Satellite program.

Not only is T-Mobile siding with a billionaire CEO who supports far-right authoritarian governments around the world, they’ve also:

  • Ended their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program to appease the Trump regime so the admin would fast track approval of two major acquisitions.
  • Lobbied for Trump’s disastrous budget bill that will strip 13 million Americans of healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the millionaire and billionaire class.
  • Engaged in vicious union busting to stop workers from forming a union.
  • Servicing Trump Mobile on the T-Mobile network, ignoring glaring conflicts of interest.

    Well, I spend most of my time on wifi and I don’t watch video on my phone. And I have a desktop computer with an actual monitor.

    Pretty much just Lemmy and Signal when I’m out and about.

    And yeah, Canadian cell service sucks. Telco monopoly gives you the bare minimum for the maximum rent extraction.

    Genuinely incomprehensible 1TB a month though.

      Makes sense I suppose. I did hear that data was wildly expensive there. Do you mind me asking how much that costs?

        $50CAD after tax per month. It is quite an old plan, though… I’m looking at the website and it seems like they have 50GB/mo available now for the same price. Eesh.

        I’d love a plan that was half the price with a lower data cap…

          Holy moly. That is very, very expensive! I’m surprised there aren’t lower priced ones. My sister lives in Canada and she said it’s partly down to geography so they have to pump in more for infrastructure which made sense.

          A new provider opened up here a while ago and I got €10 a month “for life” as an early subscriber which is 16CAD at current rates. Unlimited data, calls and texts. I’m never changing.

        I double checked my usage while I was at it. The last few months were 0.5, 0.8, and 1.7GB.
