Of course, NF would like that. In that way they can pick us off one by one.
One person realizes he's been deceived, and he quits. The next person
doesn't know that, and he keeps paying.

The issue isn't just that I'm not getting enough for my money. The main
issue is false advertising. I could sell a car that falls apart, and if
people would just look the other way, those who are still suckers would
continue to be my customers.

Last November they pulled another stunt. They created a phony lawsuit, in
which the "settlement" was to temporarily increase the level of some
customers. In other words, a promotional offer they'd have happily done
anyway.

You notice they didn't raise the level of customers getting 5 at a time.
The plan was to offer something you would like and stay with. Even if you
don't, after 30 days they could stick you with one month at the higher rate
anyway, if you don't think to change back before they bill your credit card.
