No. They apparently had it in a fine print. They said so, but I can't confirm since I don't even have the original contract, lost during the move. Unethical? dunno since I'm not an ethicist. Sleazy? definitely, if you ask me. OK, I'll say it is unethical. Before you purchase anything, the price must be known. In this case, it wasn't since I purchased 1 year contract and the price changed in the middle. If the price changes, the buyer must be given a chance to walk. In this case, I'm not given that. Instead, they are holding up 1 year contract of inequality.
