When you go to complain, Verizon disavows any responsibility to its sales practices. It is actually a nice scam. They get customers based on false or misleading information, and then hold you hostage with termination fees.

Not to mention the $55 per line multiplied by 3 that took a total of 25 minutes to install after the sales agent told me that was included.

Just like every other offer you see. There's always fine print. People complain about offers like that all the time. I remember I worked for a telecommunications company that offered a similar deal and people complained that the offer doesn't say "Plus taxes"!! The Verizon offer, mentions the use of set top boxes, you don't have to get them, but you won't get 200 channels without them. Consumer education is not the company selling the services responsiblity. It's up to the customers to know what they're getting into, (so don't just sign an agreement, read the fine print.)

Comcast Cable is another such company, by making consumers pay for television stations they don't want and never use. The Feds are supposed to be doing something about them soon, though. P.S. If there are spelling errors in this comment, it's because of the poor layout that doesn't permit me to see all of the comment. Gee, is that another Big Company problem?
