If I don't like the new contract my choices are 1-keep my landline and shut up; 2-cancel my service and go elsewhere.
I've been a Pac Bell customer at this residence for the last 17 years. It wasn't my choice to be bought out by the death star and have these restrictive, and seems now illegal, contract terms forced on me. There is no landline CLEC in this area, but there is cable phone service which IMO is not equivalent.
Although the court case was in WA not in my home state of CA i'm happy to see that ATT was knocked down a notch in some small way. As I understand it two parties cannot enter into a contract to agree to overlook rights granted to the parties by statute, or to do some act that is against the law. -- Just valves and condensers! |
