Seriously dude, seriously? (pssst, contracts and other bullshit)
The torch and pitchfork approach should be applied to any out of control business, corporation, governmental entity or group of people and so forth.

They didn't raise their rates on the father. They charged him for the services that he purchased.

The company saw the mistake/issue and fixed it. If they can get over it, I'm sure you can. |

Devils advocate here:
The issue isn't always "does it actually cost anything to deliver X gigabytes" The issue might be more like, "If a precedent is set, people will start taking advantage of us, claiming they "accidentally" downloaded a lot of data" If you owned a movie theatre, would you let someone in for free, just because it "doesn't cost you anything" to fill one more seat? |

They didn't fix a mistake either. They fixed an issue that was exploding on them. If anything you can say it was the private market at work. People like you guys were getting outraged at the bill. The company saw that they could lose potential customers if they stuck to the bill so they waved the fee seeing they could make up the $21,000 that they are owed by not loosing 350 $60 a month customers (or gaining 100 $60 a month customers for their generosity and make some more money). Curious, was there any government involvement? No, was the problem resolved in favor of the father? Yes. If it went to the courts the government would honor the contract and regardless of BS fine print or not he would be forced to pay the $21k. Again the private sector prevails.

For your sake, I hope you're just intentionally being dumb because you need the attention. Either way, I'm embarrassed for you.

These numbers, including the $60, were not pulled out of thin air. If 10 pages of posts haven't cleared it up for you, I doubt my single post will, but I'll give it a shot: Verizon charges $60 per month for unlimited data. Mr. Estarija's bill was $21,917 for one month's use of data. Here's to hoping your IQ skyrockets into the double-digits and you can suddenly comprehend the difference. ![]() Quote:
