This is just bad business - Verizon

[djhcmd]

I have been annoyed with Verizon's required data plan since I began considering upgrading in July. Currently I have a I760 that I am satisfied with. I use the wifi that is abundant here as I live near my universities campus. I have it in my home, everywhere on campus, all the restraunts have picked it up as well. I have NO reason for a data plan and therefore deleted the connection from my i760 so I could not inadvertently connect. (I have the required pay as you go...that I dont use) I cracked the i760s screen in July and it has been getting worse and worse. I was trying to hold out until my contract was up because verizon is priced outrageously and I would like to switch back to Tmobile. Anyway, over the past week I had made the descision the bite the bullet on the data plan and get a new droid (the i760s screen is bad enough now that it is essentially unusable). I actually went up there today to get one and was told that all 4 lines on our family plan are ineligable until january for an upgrade...wow. Have I mentioned NOONE on this family plan is as satisfied as we were with Tmobile. Am I ridiculous for thinking that you should ALWAYS lock a customer in wnever you can on a 2 year plan? Instead of locking me in for 2 more years and ADDING a data plan to an account, Verizon now has an even more disgruntled customer. Verizon is loosing my business. (landline, cable, internet, and 4lines on a family plan)
