AT&T

AT&T is the second-largest carrier in the U.S., on top of being a large player in the overall home internet and media business. AT&T has perhaps the strongest “legacy” customer base, as it’s been around in a dominant position for far longer than T-Mobile and has arguably not adapted to new business strategies in the same way Verizon has.
