Is there just one of you. Just one? Who understands contract law?
I am now on month-to-month. I can cancel at any time and so can
they. That is fine with me. So why should I sign an "Agreement," i.
e., a contract, in order to reduce my minutes to 450 from 900, or in
order to get and pay bills on the internet? In both cases, Verizon
requires you to sign an open-ended document. WTF is that? I have
already signed a contract with them, 2 and 1/2 years ago. It expired,
so far as my two-year obligation is concerned. So why do I need to
sign another "Agreement?" I'm not signing a goddamn thing, especially
since the agreement requires me to submit to arbitration in the event
of a dispute. I have already detailed for you, in more ways than a
country boy knows how to get into town, the slick methods these
sonsabitches have of adding bogus charges to your bill.

And you know what? They're still providing services, despite my
refusal to sign their unconscionable agreement. What does that tell
you?

Now, you take a hike too, my obnoxious little toady.

Jeezus. What a bevy of pinheads! It's like my neighbor says, "I have
to deal with Verizon because of my business, but they are a pack of
rat bastards."

BTW, he (and all his truckers) just went with AT&T. And I'm about to
do the same. I have a friend in another part of the state who just
went Alltel, after exhausting his patience with Verizonwireless. So
far, he's very happy.
