Re: Sprint Refusing to waive Early Termination Fees

What's the big deal?

If you download a ton and they see it as "unreasonable" then they will terminate you for free. If you never get that termination letter, then it's business as usual until your contract expires. Unless you're just looking for a way out of your contract regardless, of course.

I was under the impression that if you "download a ton" that you'd open the door to be billed for overage charges exceeding the 5 gig cap. What would be the sense in Sprint establishing a cap and overage charges if they didnt plan on implementing that at some point?

I'm pretty sure they stated there would not be overage charges, but they would throttle your connection, or simply terminate you.

The deal is that they won't let you go for free. They will charge the ETF. THE new T&C states that they will charge the $200 ETF fee regardless of of it was them or you who cancelled.

Interesting. I've never seen a provider do that; force you out and charge you for it.

I haven't read the TOS, but if what you are saying is true, then the blurb posted above would cover this situation, anyway.

If they did not charge for force-outs in the past, but now do, that would be a "material adverse effect", no? Therefore, they would have to let you out of the contract with no ETF, since the application of an ETF has changed.

We agreed to a contract that provided unlimited usage...They change the contract to a 5GB cap, yet we can't cancel for free?
