I’m curious how T-Mobile finally beat Verizon? Verizon seems inferior in about every way to Verizon now. Leadership at T-Mobile?

Is there an echo?
As a former employee I witnessed VZ hiring knuckle heads for certain positions that require knowledge and experience at what you do. Kept hiring unfit people to do the job , just because they are internal candidates, instead of spending money recruiting and hiring top noch employees

OP, what planet are you on?
We Rule!
The rest are followers who wish they had our vision.
T-Mobile is extremely WOKE. They are doing layoffs monthly. They are losing employee loyalty. The loss of John Legere is catching up to them. They are behind on shutting down Legacy Sprint. But the lie saying it will be done this quarter. They have actually told employees they will have to do layoffs to keep giving away more free perks to keep customers.
It is lead by hypocrites. The only difference is Deutsche Telekom is always watching and forcing changes if it looks like the stock will drop.
The still think they are a telecommunications company and act like it.
- Got the billions from ATT
- Hired the best management in the industry
- Built a real culture of customer centricity. Not just lip services
- Executed like crazy on the vision.
Hans The Great was more interested in social, political, and justice issues here and around the World than communication issues.
I'm with this company from Nynex days.
I've never seen this company more involved with outside our business issues than this guy has been....
If he'd focus more on our business as much as he pays attention to other people's business we'd be still the leader in communications.
AT&T funded TMUS. Gave them $6B and a ton of spectrum. It's always nice when your competitor funds your enterprise!
VZ is a reactionary company, follows a sit and wait mentality. Latest was the E-Sim announcement. Albeit minor, TMO made their announcement - LOOK WHAT WE HAVE. VZ's response - oh, we've had that for a while now....
VZ spends too much on micro marketing, not enough broad and brand marketing.
Easy! T Mobile a German company hired the smartest and most competitive telecom executive in the country. He knew everything that made customers angry about their phone carrier and went about fixing it while hiring the best to build out their network
Verizon on the other hand hired a losing globalist telecom parts CEO from Europe whose engineering ignorance was conflated with an old European union 5g fantasy. Now VZ is run by non American people with no American telecom chops
And just like that VZ is back as the market cap leader today...
During Lowell and marni tenure; they foolishly paid billions for cr---y conten that no one watched. Any one was able to offer “viral” content and Verizon paid any amount. The content was worse than the lamest YouTube video . But hey for the 5 people that used go90 , it wasn’t counted toward their data usage hahahaha.
AT&T handed TMUS $6B and a boatload of spectrum due to a breakup fee. T was trying to acquire TMUS and failed miserably. Funny part, TMUS probably would have agreed to be acquired without a breakup fee!
Better network, personable, better prices and less arrogance.
Many years ago T mobile gave free Netflix while Verizon offered go90
Initially better marketing and a lack will on VZ's part to push back/call them out. Now they have a spectrum advantage. It will take us a couple of years to catch up.
TMO is still being valued as a tech/growth stock, that will change. When it does VZ may retake the market cap lead.
better value, better customer service.
Easy........we went Woke
But if it’s all propaganda, then why has Verizon been failing for more than a year now? And how can T-Mobile’s churn rate be lower than Verizon?
T-mobile is good at propaganda. Many folks I know in California say their Tmobile service sucks, and have been switching to VZ.
