my favorite is their "family share plan" ads: Its only $10 extra..

You can only do that family share option with a $69.99 plan.. so its CHEAPER to get 2 x $35.99 plans then to pay $69.99 + 10 extra!
The $69.99 plan includes the primary line and one share line. The third and subsequent lines cost $10 each. So it's $69.99 for two lines of Family Share, or 2*39.99 = $79.98 for two individual lines.
Hmm.. I wonder why I thought that it was the first line ONLY being $69.99 and subsequent lines being $9.99.. I guess I read it wrong.. I stand corrected!

If it doesn't or uses ridiculous language a "reasonable" person couldn't understand, then it could be construed as mail fraud. That usage policy damn well better be on the bill. Otherwise, since all you see is "Unlimited" without caveats (if there are none), it is fraud. :o

I'd file the same complaint with the BBB and FCC and your state's AG. :D

Can you sue?

Yes. But, what are the damages? Damages will determine if a suit is worth bringing. :uhh: If it impeded your business, then you could. :D Of course, you'd be in court for 3 years.

You could easily get out of your contract if it was sold as a package. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16581758 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 18:02:43 EDT Re: Net Neutrality http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16581286 NyQuil Kid : One would hope ;-)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16581286 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:52:14 EDT Re: Net Neutrality http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16581129 hopeflicker :

Just tell the users that they are limited and quite greasing them with cryptic and misleading marketing ads.
And just how could they possibly sell their cryptically constructed and multi-tiered service packages if they didn't? Hmmmm??? ;)
