New York, NY | Anyone else catch what they said?? said by Consumers Union :
The Consumer's Union isn't impressed by these new contracts. "Cancellation penalties are anti-competitive and deprive consumers of the benefits of competition
Ummm lets see, that why they are called CONTRACTS! If there is no enforceable clause in the language then its not by definition a contract. A contract is a document that legally binds two parties. Without some language to that effect its just an agreement. I have said it before and I will most likely say it (many, many, many times) again; "consumer advocate" groups are almost always a bunch of muck racking idiots who exists solely to stir up trouble and get press for themselves. The Qwest customers described in this article do not have to sign this contract, nor do they have to chose the "for life" plan. How the hell is that anti-competitive??? Wow, those "groups" are sure good for a mid day laugh if nothing else.

| Well another way of looking at it is that if Qwest's "DSL for Life" were such a good deal, they would be willing to give it to customers without a contract! In other words, they would refrain from price increases. However, as it is, they know that people will bolt when something better comes along . . . and undoubtedly something will! "DSL for life is simply a marketing ploy; just something to make people think they're getting a good deal.
