said by ThrowDemsOut:Verizon went too far by DELAYING the phone number port process and that should be prohibited. But preventing them from trying to convince customers not to switch goes too far in my opinion. As long as Verizon doesn't slow down the port process, they should have their 1 chance at convincing a user not to switch. After all, cable does this all the time - trying to keep users from switching their TV & internet service to a telco.
Indeed. And Verizon is not the only that is suspected of doing this, although they seem to be the only one that has been publicly outed and given a wrist slap. There are other companies out there that take days longer than others to complete a port request and seem to have a higher incidence of canceled port requests.
