I was a longtime user of DSL but canceled that as I was frustrated with Verizon service overseas -- too many storms knocked out service and the existing process for service in India was ridiculous.

Heard about the aircard and went in to local Verizon store. They quoted a cost of $40 and a month or so later I went in to buy. By that time the cost went to $60 but I bit my lip and purchased, especially since the $50 item was rebated. At the store I was assured that the $60 cost would not waver, was far cheaper than DSL and no trouble with service.

Now that I open up a bill and see a charge of $250 I am stunned. I call to cancel and am told there's nothing to be done about YET ANOTHER CHARGE. I expect to pay a reasonable amount for a service, certainly the amount discussed! but not the outrageous amounts that I am being charged presently.

I canceled my order for a new aircard this past Saturday and now get an email saying that my aircard is on its way. What is the deal with VERIZON?? Is there any way to get this right and not be gouged?
