Re: Official email from Sunrocket said by sandwidth:Ya, to gatorkram, Just in case you didn't know I'll inform you that by definition, yes, you (all of us) were SCREWED!! It's the *way* they did it. Speaking w/ Verizon Voicewing folks, they were just still in awe at what SR did. I called it "unprecedented" and they called it "unbelievable", though I'd guess that someone like Verizon doesn't have to worry about cash problems!  All of these startups, independents, etc. etc. will not be seeing a dime of my money any time soon. Maybe I was screwed, but I don't feel like I was.
Several different times in my life, I have been in different "ventures" that involved other peoples money. Several times, I had to "stop" these "ventures" with little to no notice to the people who might be affected by my actions.
Sometimes, there is no good way to "end" something.
I am sure people who paid for a year of service, and only got several months feel very different about the situation than I do. I was billed for this month of service on the 5th, and obviously I don't expect my service will be working until then, although now that I "switched" to this other company, who makes it sound like they can pick my service right back up where Sunrocket left it, I might not even experience a total loss. And no, I don't feel a need to dispute the charges with my credit card company.
Maybe I am just stupid, or maybe due to my unique life experiences, I can relate somewhat to this whole thing.
Surely everyone is free to feel how they wish, and I choose not to feel screwed. Maybe if I had first hand information from the powers to be at Sunrocket, that they did this all with malice, and forethought, I too would feel differently.
I doubt everyone involved with SunRocket, set out to fail, and rob, or otherwise cheat everyone who signed up. Maybe some did, maybe they all did, but I doubt it, and this is why, in the end, I don't feel cheated.
Thanks for reading..
