Could AT&T Give me Just 1 Reason Not To Leave? Loyalty?
I'm an existing post-paid customer paying $157.80 per month for two lines of service ($1,893.60 annually).
1 line with Data Unlimited for 4G LTE ($45.00) and the other with DataPro 3GB for Smartphone 4G LTE($30.00) data plans.
Our peak usage since the first of the year has been 22.2 GB in a month and we average around 12.5 GB.
I'm for the 1st time in a long time, taking a real serious look at leaving AT&T for one free year of service with Sprint.
Chances are that if I leave, i'll be back after my free year of Sprint assuming I don't love their services and AT&T has a promo worth switching back.

Att cannot. But Sprint might. Check coverage. Ask around your friends and neighbors to see if they have or had Sprint.

It's $157.80 for two lines of service AND two phones, right?
There has to be a reason they're offering it for free, right? Desperate for customers? Why aren't they more popular if they charge less?
You might be back sooner than a year...
Are your current phones compatible? You'll have to upgrade if not.
Superior cellular service and coverage. Which is really the biggest thing to be looking for in a cellular carrier.

AT&T doesn’t care about their customers at all. That’s enough of a reason. I’ve been a customer for 11+ years and have consistently paid more than my friends on other services and had worse coverage. Currently I have never had more than 2 bars in my home or at work (I live in Seattle). I think I’ve stayed because I kept getting locked into contracts and then once my device stopped performing well, I would upgrade.
I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus, purchased in April 2017. I pay $29 a month for the device on the “Next” program they offer plus my regular monthly bill. I won’t be eligible for an upgrade until October of next year. My friend who has Verizon has an iPhone 8 (meaning he has had his less time than I’ve had mine.) He also pays $29/mo for the device. He can upgrade right now for FREE. His bill with Verizon is $20 more than mine monthly but he has 2 lines and I have 1. And his coverage is much better. So I’m wondering the same thing. Why stay?

I’m going to question that... (I’m being polite). Verizon has the same upgrade policies as AT&T.
No wait, not quite.
verizon only offers 24 month, no 30 month option. Only the expensive devices have a yearly upgrade option. If your device is on the 24 month option, you have no “trade to upgrade” On android anymore, your only option is to pay all 24 payments to upgrade.
They do offer annual upgrade on iPhone. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/annual-upgrade-program-for-iphone-faqs/. (Which is just like ATT next 24)

Here is Verizon’s full device upgrade program details. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/device-payment-faqs/?cmp=COMM_RELCON
Verizon often has trade to upgrade offers, which require a fully paid off device for a close to 50% off as credits monthly over 24 months.

How is that AT&T's fault? You made the choice to keep paying for service you do not like. AT&T hasn't offered contracts in years, so you probably just have the installment plan. You can pay that off and leave anytime if you're not happy.
