The bottom line, how many customers dropped Verizon Internet Service on March 3 or 4 based on the changed agreement. Until people start voting with their feet by leaving, you can complain all you want, it will not change anything. It is not whether they can get away with it, they just DID.

is that they ENSURED that they got away with it by giving such ridiculously short notice.

Another thing I was thinking while reading the article is how ridiculous the requirement to keep up with the ToS is. Say for example I check Verizon's TOS quarterly like clockwork. They make some change to the terms on February 1st, and make a notation that if I haven't opted out by March 15th then I've agreed to the terms. That's a nice long notice period. However, since I only re-read them quarterly, I'm not going to get around to re-reading them until April 1st. So then I discover that I've inadvertently agreed to terms that possibly I DON'T agree with.
