Verizon doesn't understand simple math – Boing Boing
Verizon told George Vaccaro that bandwidth charges in Canada were .002 cents per kilobyte, but billed him at .002 dollars, or 100 times as much as he was quoted.
But Verizon customer service insists there’s no difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents. Here’s the recording of the call.
