    Missing in this thread, courts are not known for their technological literacy. So companies just lie to them. Like, all the time. This isn’t meant to withstand consumer scrutiny.

        Yeah but you have to get caught lying. And the courts aren’t very literate with tech and economic stuff. You’d basically need to create a memo that says, “lol we lied!”

        Having a different opinion is not the same as lying though. Locking customers into a long contract allows for lower prices month-to-month because the company has that guarantee of income.
