  • This is a rehash of a rehash of that other article somewhere else on the Lemmys from the other day. This huge percentage of people falling behind amounts to a ~.5% increase from 2020->now. POINT FIVE PERCENT from like 5.5% to 6%.

    Also from that link:

    NOTES: Delinquency is defined as the share of people having credit card accounts with debt that is 30 days or more past due.

    So like, people could have been super distracted because America is dying, or it’s summer and they’re traveling, or the news made them forget, or whatever, and it just happened to make a hiccup that looks scary when put in percent of percent terms.









  • The family created the MVNO off the name, Mango still gets a cut, it’s built off the back of another already terrible MVNO on T-Mobile. The same T-Mobile that was allowed to accelerate 5G growth way ahead of Verizon and AT&T under Mango 1.0 when the oh so loved John Legere cut deals to get the Sprint merger accelerated and a fat bucket of n41 spectrum allocated. I’m sure their Chinese-ODM’d “made in the USA, oops, not” grift phone, if it ever sees the light of day, will be full of terrible infected software as well.

    It is like a big recursive grift.

    I don’t get in what universe people would choose their primary telecommunications connection based on association with a person. Verizon, AT&T, and Dish are also terrible in their own rights, and the number of MVNOs in the US is staggeringly hilarious, but… it’s meant to be a phone/message/Internet connection. One’s cell phone isn’t in the Indy 500.

    The days of Catherine Zeta Jones hocking GSM/GPRS/EDGE are way over.
