Cell Phone Service Degenerates Further

An anonymous reader writes "Almost everyone I know has been complaining about their cell phone service lately. These companies continue to add more subscribers, overloading their networks to the breaking point. They hold you hostage by not allowing you to switch providers and won't invest in new infrastructure. Customer service ratings are dismal for all the major providers. Doesn't look like it's going to improve any time soon."

Sound like too much messy competition

Maybe Microsoft or the Gov't will get involved than we will not have to waste time making a decision.

And in a split second you would have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the issue... and your blind faith in so-called free markets.

There cell networks are so good in socialist countires because no one has a fucking cell phone. The broadband service is good because no one has a fucking computer.

Right now someone is probably riding a goat past your windows on their way down to the community well to get up some water to boil the 6 potatoes they'll be serving to their family of 14 for day's meal, and you are sitting there yammering on a cell phone and posting to Slashdot about how wonderful socialism is. Look at your neighbors, they are stick people. They live in a house made out of dirt and cardboard. Have some compassion for fuck's sake. The packets that arrive at your home via big fat cable lines do so at the expense of the less fortunate bottom dwellers you callously tread upon.

Bastard.
