Verizon Edge - Must pay 100% to "Edge Up" ?

[Almeuit]

I just saw this while browsing the net ... What are your thoughts on it?

Verizon Wireless (yet again) makes it more expensive to upgrade early | Ars Technica

Not much of a loss as it is almost always a better deal to just pay down the phone and keep it rather than trade it in after having paid down 75%, but losing options is never a good thing. The real loss was when they changed the terms from being able to trade it in after having paid down 50%

You guys do know this has always been an option right? I've done this atleast 2 times in the past year.

It was an option. Soon it will be the only choice.

Yeah didn't think about that

Yeah but the 75% made edging up no longer feasible anyway. At least now you not made to wait 30 days or a billing cycle to start a new edge agreement.

It was pretty much junk at 75% anyway. No big loss. Not really surprising either, as they have slowly been making it worse.
