Sure is. If some stupid salesdroid is silly enough to tell the
customer that coverage is absolutely certain to be excellent
at his home, after being told where it is, and it turns out to be
complete crap, you are entitled to a full refund. Thats the law.

Same thing happens in the situation where some stupid salesdroid
makes a complete silly statement. Yes, its normally the most demanding
and those who know what the law says that get a full refund. Plenty
of others get fobbed off by complete bullshit about contracts.
