Give AT&T Your First Born

Anyone with bad timing that signed a contract with AT&T after June 1st is going to have one hell of a shock when it comes to their early termination fee.  The new early termination fee has been raised from $175 to $325!  Holy crap.  AT&T’s ridiculous explanation:

The idea is, and we think that it’s fair approach, that if you spend less on a device, your early termination fee should be less. If you spend more, your early termination fee should be more.

Time to jump ship while the going is possible.  If you decide to stick around, I hope you’re in for the long haul.  To add insult the injury, they also have a new BS plan regarding ETF:

For customers who enter into new two-year service agreements in connection with the purchase of our more advanced, higher end devices, including netbooks and smartphones, the ETF will increase to $325, and be reduced by $10 for each month that you remain with us as a customer during the balance of your two-year service agreement. After that, the ETF will no longer apply.

Although I am currently using a Google Nexus One, an unlocked device, I am stuck in the grasp of AT&T for at least another year.  Sucks to be me…and you after June!
