In the good old days only the mafia had the capacity to pull a stunt like that. Terminate someone earlier than plan. People would pay to get this service.
But these days just about anyone can get early termination. With no fees whatsoever! In fact the terminator promises to pay them for you!
Case in point is all the phone and cable companies that tout it as a differentiator to the point they actually advertise loudly about how they can not only terminate your plan early but that of your family.
It is a good thing I do not do much planning these days anyway since I am getting tired of doing so. Then to have someone come and terminate it would be such a colossal waste.
To have the family involved in any terminal act is also hard to digest.
Nonetheless the competitive landscape is eager to pit one provider against another and see whose terminators are up to the task.
But all this talk of early termination comes with a catch.....that you have to 'Make the switch'.
Now correct me if I am wrong but not anyone can just make a switch unless they have good electrical engineering skills or telecom engineering experience.
Switches are complicated devices and a bad switch can cause trouble. It could itself terminate someone if the OFF is in fact ON.
Another caveat kinda in fine print is 'you have to trade in your devices'. Now again here I am taken aback because I value my devices however deficient sometimes they may be. It is the memory I got and am proud of it.
