Re: Yup
Doesn't matter. If they are violating their TOS, then they deserve what they get. If the TOS says do not do this, and you agree to those terms when you sign up for the service, and then break the rules, you get what you get. |

OK, I didn't read properly.
It's far worse than I thought. It IS the unlimited service which is cut without warning at more than 10 GB.
And it has nothing to do with the TOS, just use 10 as a good citizen and your'e still cut. Bravo Verizon!
How this story will unfold will be interesting. My rather qualified guess is that V can easily accomodate more bandwidth if they want too. Isn't it mostly fiber to the cell towers?
The profit they make on getting paid for an already high-margin service which they cancel at 10 GB without warning can certainly pay for better equipment and bandwidth upgrades.
Customers goes to Sprint who happily welcomes them.

Go by the rules and nothing will ever happen. I have never understood why anyone in their right mind are defending big companies with billions in profits when it's obvious that the lack of competition make them think they can do whatever they want. Obeying and quiet customers stifle innovation and keeps prices and inflation high!!
I hope all users violates such greedy TOS so everybody gets disconnected and there's noone left to charge!!
There's obviously a big need for competition in this arena since the big Telcos still are having employees hunting people who fully utilizes their service, or charge horrendeous sums extra for unlimited services. Canada is even worse where BCE have a near monopoly. I think FCC should stop all these huge mergers going on. Noone likes inflation. |
