The catch
No pricing gimmicks detected in this plan's structure or EFL.
At the end of the term, this plan renews itself onto a month-to-month variable rate, and the final expiration notice can arrive as little as 30 days before the switch. Holdover rates usually run well above the contract rate, so mark the end date and shop again.
Cancellation fee: $100
Fees in the fine print
Pulled from this plan's Terms of Service. None of these apply if every bill is paid on time, but when one does hit, the amount depends on the provider, not the rate you signed.
- Late payment: 5% of the past-due balance
- Returned payment: $30
