Not at all. Business relationships change all the time. CO worked well for me for many years, now they're not my primary.

CO is not merging.

Many people switch all the time. Several on this board left CO and moved to other carriers as their primary. While people from other carriers moved in. Some moved in and then moved back out, and vice versa.

Everyone has their reasons.
