Verizon Settles Out, or Why We Need Competition

Verizon agrees to reimburse all users of their unlimited wireless internet plan who were wrongfully terminated. The NY State AG spokesman –

This settlement sends a message to companies large and small answering the growing consumer demand for wireless services. When consumers are promised an ‘unlimited’ service, they do not expect the promise to be broken by hidden limitations,” said Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. “Consumers must be treated fairly and honestly. Delivering a product is simply not enough - the promises must be delivered as well.”

Verizon also agrees to also pay a $150k fine to NY State. Approximately 13,000 customers have been wrongfully terminated through Verizon’s actions.

Its simple Verizon — if the contract has a data transfer limit defined in it, DO tell the Marketing Dept.
