Farewell, AT&T

We’ve had a good run, AT&T, but I’m afraid our time is through. It’s not me, it’s you. Ever since 2008, I’ve been a loyal customer of yours. I told everyone that your service wasn’t terrible and that getting an iPhone was worth it, even if they had to get you alongside it.

Even when I was tempted with other options, I stuck by your side. And you stuck by mine, allowing me to keep my unlimited data plan. It is, ironically, what you have done with that unlimited plan that is why I am leaving you.

You see, I am sick of being throttled and am sick of the alerts telling me that I am using too much of my unlimited data. And I sure as hell don’t want to pay for FaceTime over a cellular network. It’s a new feature in iOS6, why prohibit its growth and how many people will be able to use it?

I haven’t changed, AT&T, you have. And that is why, come Friday, my number will be switching to Verizon. I hope Verizon takes better care of me and appreciates my service. We’ve had our good times, but now, that’s all they are.

Do well for yourself, AT&T, and don’t lose hope. Maybe if you clean up your act, we can be friends again someday.

Sincerely,

Tyler Bell
