That was great. I admire his patience.

I checked around to find out what the final outcome was.
First, Verizon offered to split the difference and deduct 36 bucks off
the bill.
The customer, obviously now on a mission, rejected that still politely
trying to explain
that Verizon was quoting the rate mistakenly.

That was followed up by Verizon deducting the entire amount from his
bill, followed up by a letter from some executive level email thanking
the guy for pointing out the error in the way Verizon was quoting the
rate and indicating that it would be changed from "cents" to "dollars".

The last entry I found was a report that Verizon was still advertising
the rate at the original price that caused all the confusion in the
first place. This all took place back in 2006, so maybe it has been
corrected by now.

Online they have it listed as $0.002 so it does look like it is
corrected. I couldn't figure out if they were as stupid as they
appeared, or just did not want to hear about a mistake. I did like the
comment about the bill was done by a computer so it had to be correct.
