How will this be a loss for consumers??I wouldn't call the practice necessarily sleazy, but I also wouldn't call it "right" either. Regardless, the consumer still always had the right to continue to switch to another provider or to remain with Verizon. If you look at it from the standpoint that the customer doesn't get a last chance for a retention discount, then they are losing out on something. Consumer options is never a bad thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Huh-21899028 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:44:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Huh-21898830 said by ropeguru:

I agree. They're equating the loss of their customers to a loss for consumers. If their customers have made a decision and have learned about number porting, I think they're educated enough. If later on these customers aren't happy, they can always go back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Huh-21898830 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 08:57:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Huh-21894037 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Huh-21894037 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:05:59 EDT
