Ok, the T Mobile Chief Executive has quite the way with words at his CES presentation.

"....On stage with a can of Red Bull in hand, Legere delivered snarky critiques of his competitors:
Verizon: ”I want to give them huge credit for standing up and saying our network is bloated and our speeds are too slow and we’re going to do something about it.” But people should be able to leave the network. “They lost sight of their customers because of their success and they took customers for granted.”
Family plans: “A family plan is nothing more than a contract on super-steroids with staggered dates, a complete life sentence.” Data caps have forced people in the family to think each other is the problem.
Sprint: “Sprint is a pile of spectrum waiting to be turned into a capability. Right now their network is completely horrible … They keep talking about pardon our dust while we redecorate.”
AT&T: “They take my [B.S.]… These are fat cats that can’t move. Why don’t they have the balls to answer the question” when asked about T-Mobile taking its customers.

Then Legere talked about how well T-Mobile has done in the fourth-quarter.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, T-Mobile lost 515,000 post-paid customers, he said. For the year we lost 2.1 million customers — “big hole, right?”
During this past fourth quarter, the company had 1.6 million net customer additions, up 60 percent, he said.
“Q4 was a complete knockout,” he said.
Through 2013, the company had 4.4 million new customers, making it the fastest-growing wireless company, he said.
Legere said other carriers will go crazy as T-Mobile continues growing.
“I’m going to love watching the peckers scream and cry and do everything they’re going to do because we’re going to win,” he said.

Talking about lower costs for customers on its network, Legere said that if every customer on Verizon, Sprint and AT&T shifted to T-Mobile “the savings would be $20 billion.”
