There&#x27;s no monopoly in the US cell phone market. Competition is decently robust, with four major networks and a buttload of MVNOs.<p>Right now, <i>one</i> network is pulling this throttling bullshit. If you don&#x27;t like it, there are other choices. If you say &quot;I wish I could switch but T-Mobile is cheaper&quot; then what you&#x27;re actually saying is that you don&#x27;t care about the issue enough to pay for it, and that means the providers have no reason to care about it.
