If the two companies have been competitors and the merger is to avoid having to compete, it could be superior or worse for the consumer. Why? If competition is threatening to destroy both, leaving the consumer out of a supplier, it can benefit the consumer. Too much competition can be as bad for the consumer as too tiny. But usually companies will learn to apply limits to their own predatory competition, and take the consumer's business for granted again.

Prices will go up, because you’ve no competition.
