You get promotions all the time and a lot of them are pretty good. You just have to understand what you are getting.

Nor can I read more than 5 lines of small print without my eyes falling out, nor do I have the time to do so, and probably I don't even understand all of that legal gibberish that is made to confuse normal people.

I never make use of any promotions as I distrust companies. That is my careful default setting.

ps. I have been using Verizon for years and am very satisfied with the service.

Ya know .... I've read such a large number of remarkably ignorant comments, almost nothing surprises me anymore ... but then someone says something really off the deep end that demonstrates that there is no bottom in the stupid barrel ... apparently, it is a bottomless pit.

The fact that no one would knowingly use a service that cost them $5,000 to download a single movie's worth of data just doesn't seem to register with you as dishonesty on the part of Verizon? AMAZING. SIMPLY AMAZING.
