The small routes are already so heavily subsidized (directly by the government as well as by the the 4 profitable routes) that this won’t make a meaningful difference.

Are you using a satellite phone or something unusual? If you’re on a “big 3” network there are definitely better plans than that.

Whatever they’re doing (or not doing?) now seems to be working. We may be paying more than other countries but I can say my phone bill is lower than it’s ever been since the beginning of the smartphone age and I’m getting way more for those dollars too.

Edit: that being said, I do hear of people paying close to $100 for a phone plan. I don’t know how they just go along with that or what value they think they’re getting but it’s definitely not necessary to spend that much these days.

I’d be ok with it but we’d have to go all in.

Yeah, by definition they’ll go along with it. Probably come up with some convoluted reasoning as to how it was the plan all along.

This just reminded me I had an account from years ago. Deleted.
