How is this even remotely legal? I'm genuinely asking. They must have consulted with lawyers and believe it is legal. But even if their TOS say they reserve the right to change anyone's plan at any time... that seems like one of those clauses that judges always strike down. This is just flat-out providing a different service than you contracted for. This is like if I order a $200 SSD from Amazon and instead they ship…

If you're on T-Mobile, you might want to consider Google Fi. According to this data prioritization guide, Google Fi gets the same quality of service as standard-tier T-Mobile plans (lower QCI values are better, and both are on QCI 6): https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/oaophe/data_pri... > QCI 6 is applied to all of T-Mobile's postpaid and prepaid plans (except for Essentials) and Google Fi which also has Q…

Trusting something as important as my phone number to an organization as fickle as Google seems insane.
They also send their previous customer's accounts in debt collection even if they have paid in full when closing the account. Happened with me. Got a debt collector's letter a few years later. I had the proof of payment but still ended up paying again to prevent damage to my credit. Later on found on reddit that they have done this with many people, some of whom didn't have means to pay again, so ended up taking a cr…
Edit: namely, this part:
> your debt collection rights, including your right to get information about the original creditor if you ask for it within 30 days of getting validation information from the collector

13 years here, what MVNO did you pick? I'm looking at visible and US cellular.

Mint uses the T-Mobile network but is one tier below T-mobile subscribers:

> QCI 6 is applied to all of T-Mobile's postpaid and prepaid plans (except for Essentials) and Google Fi which also has QCI 6 as well. This means if you want the absolute best from T-Mobile, you want to get a plan directly from them. Even their cheap $10 prepaid 1GB Connect plan has priority data.
QCI 7 is applied to T-Mobile’s Essentials plan as well as all MVNOs (besides Google Fi) such as Mint, Metro By T-Mobile, US Mobile GSM LTE, and Tello.

Agreed. Ten bucks says they'll sell off Fi within the next 10 years. See Google Domains sell off to Squarespace as a recent example.
Almost 25 years ago, Fucked Company did such a beautiful job of aggregating countless parallel stories as the dot-com bubble started to burst. It made it so easy to see what was going on in aggregate. There’s an opportunity for the same sort of thing now, but tracking all the desperate scrambling for revenue as the “we’ll make money after the next 10x users, promise” loses its ground as a business model.
