"When does merging two companies make for more marketplace competition? When they aren't big enough to compete with the other giants in the industry. At least that's the logic behind the argument that Sprint should be allowed to acquire T-Mobile. I'm wondering what this means for MetroPCS users like me now that we're T-Mobile users by the previous merger."

    Sprint is the best of the carriers as far as I'm concerned in regards to MVNOs. They allow virtually all the devices to be used on them and they even let them use their 4G signal. Better than Verizon which is limited to 3G for MVNOs and require you to flash your phone (usually a Sprint phone) to be able to use anything other than a dinosaur. That is unless you want to use Straight Talk which is really not much of a savings over Verizon. I've used PagePlus, Ting, and Republic and Sprint is by far a nicer company than Verizon for an MVNO guy. Customer service on MVNOs were better too, but it is pretty hard to beat Sprint phone support for being terrible.
