Looks like this is being sent to existing customers. This organization must be run by a bunch of morons. You can't enforce an ETF on existing customers...

Edit:: Spelling
Why not? ViaTalk raised the bogus fees and taxes for existing customers under contract, and then reluctantly adjusted them, but only for those customers who complained..
Sounds like a Sprint PCS tactic.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21298453 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:52:05 EDT Re: New customers only? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21291927 ptrowski : An ETF forced upon customers is a bit different Burris. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21291927 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:41:13 EDT Re: New customers only? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21291753 burris :

I wonder how many Lingo customers will cancel before the 23rd? This warning may actually encourage a mass exodus of customers.
I'd probably change and switch to something else after being treated threatened like that. It's easier said than done, especially if you need to port your #, but I'd really consider leaving if I received a similar e-mail from Vonage.

If they knew there was going to be a mass exodus anyway, what better way to milk your existing customers.

This is only a hypothesis!
