Re: Fiber optics are not cheap said by fifty nine:Hence the high ETF. Verizon is in it to make money. I don't see what would make people leave though. Like the article mentions, you may have to move, and since FIOS has such limited geographic availability, you may move to an area where FIOS is not available.
All of a sudden, you could wind up giving Verizon over $300 for nothing. |

kudos:1 | Look at the hand outs.
If you move to a non Fios area, they only charge you the ETF if you don't get your home phone through them.
It's similar circumstances with cell phones. If you move to an area not served by your present provider, they usually don't hit you for the ETF...

"According to the information, users will be forced to pay this ETF if you move to a non-Verizon area. "
I doubt this will hold up to any legal review. The standard has always been if you move to a unserved area they can not charge you an ETF or they have to provide service. It is not like people have a choice when moving. You move because you have to or want to, but it's not all the time you can move into a serviced area. |
