Re: 5GB?

If I were a customer, I'd call them up and say since I am billed based upon usage, do I get the money back for the parts I don't consume. Seeing full well if I pay for 10 gallons of gas, and use 5, they credit back my credit card. 5GB is bare bottom for anyone beyond the basics. Still, I am sure there's a good percentage who probably wont hit 1GB a month. Do they see an 80 percent refund? I'd seriously like to see someone challenge these plans in court on this very basis. If you are going to give a fixed price for a cap, and charge overage, then those who go under should see their money returned. I'd bet this would put a quick end to this shit.

Either that or customers should demand exactly what frontiers TOS offers its customers. I want the 5GB free service no more.

Why pay $40.++ per month for FREE service?

In my area, frontier, did not invest $$$ into network infrastructure. Commonwealth telephone/Epix, already made the investment of installing RT's. frontier upgraded nothing. Corporate greed putting its best face forward.

With out religion your are more suceptable to manipulation. Look at china, they banned religion. It's much easier to manipulate people who don't have any religious convictions.

Re: 5GB?

HAH. If I were you and that remains in the TOS, I'd sign a couple year contract then let them know you won't be paying your bill. After all, you are guaranteed 5GB free a month. Since thats the cap, there is no need to send them anything.

I don't think they should get money back. I think they should have set tiers like cell companies use. You get to pick what you think you will use and if you constantly use under then maybe you should switch to a smaller plan.
