Broadband customers get smacked with early termination fees, too
Although cell phone providers are well-known for charging early termination fees, it appears broadband Internet service providers jumped on the bandwagon, as well. A sampling of fees, along with the supposed benefits:
- AT&T: $99 for a month of “free” service
- Verizon: $59 (FiOS); $79 (DSL), benefit unclear
- Qwest: $200 for insulation from future price increases
- Earthlink: $149, benefit unclear
