Re: Net Neutrality
Can we possibly complain about the same subject again please? We need to move on to bigger and better things. Come to think of it, this message is probably getting to repetative around here too. |

said by cghh  :said by phriday613 :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!

Re: Remind me to NEVER work for you!
A. this isnt network neutrality, its network transfer, its GB they monitor, not superHDOnDemand.com, they dont limit where you drive your car, just the amount of gas you get per month
B. Its in the fine print since day one, deal with it
C. There is no law that makes being a asshole illegal |

It could be mail fraud
Does it mention any caps on the bill?
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. 
I'd file the same complaint with the BBB and FCC and your state's AG. 
Can you sue?
Yes. But, what are the damages? Damages will determine if a suit is worth bringing.  If it impeded your business, then you could. 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.  |

why not just steal it? plenty of phones can do it, all you need is data services. i've downloaded well over 100 gigs without a peep via my phone & a data cable.
I only really use my phone for text messaging, so I figure I gotta make up for the $90/mo some other way |

misleading people is not right.. either that, or anyone who is stupid to do the plan needs to learn to read..

said by hopeflicker :unlimited != limited. End of story 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???
