I went with them for the FIOS service.  We had Comcast which I really hated.  Yes they are expensive!  But customer service is really good.  More then a cable company. True fiber optics. True ditgital phone.  Super fast internet.  They run the line in to your basement.  Something Comcast can't do. 

@songbird

I wish FIOS was an option where we live.

Because they own the phone lines, Comcast can't send a cable inside your house.  It has to sit outside.  There is quite a difference between the the cable companies.  Comcast is slower in TV performance and internet.

Just another example of everything going up in price, while the government tells us there's no inflation.

Just because something goes up in price doesn't mean there is inflation. We live in a capitalist country. There is another phrase - "what the market will bear."

Do people really think the government can prevent all price increases, and that all price increases mean inflation?

---

What does capitalism have to do with inflation?  Everything.

Bottom line:

Every price increase, for every item or service is not automatically inflation. It is a price increase, in a regulated industry at that, no more, no less. Regulators must have felt it wasn't unjustified.

Bottom line:

The simple principle that when housing rates go up; when the cost of food goes up; when the cost of local utilities goes up; when the cost of medicine goes up; when the cost of clothing goes up (see cotton); there is inflation.  This is particularly true if your wages don't keep pace with these price increases.

You can let the guberment tell you there is no inflation all you want.  Every time I go to the store, the stuff I bought the last time, has gone up.

Metro PCS is TMobile, not bad.  They don't have good phones to me though.
