I would go ballistic. I can't believe how calm the caller remains. I'd send them a check for 71 cents (.71 dollars) and dare them to take me to court.

Verizon quotes their data transfer rates at ".002 Cents per Kilobyte" when you sign up for a plan in Canada.
One new customer got his first bill and was surprised to receive a bill for $71 when he'd only used 35,829Kb. Most sane people who had a relatively sound grasp of mathematics in 3rd grade would understand that .002 cents x 35,829Kb = 71.66 cents. They billed him 71.66 Dollars.
He called them on it... got transferred around to several different supervisors and managers and they all tell him that he's full of crap.
I think their computers have a "rate" box that says ".002" and they're too daft to get that its .002 DOLLARS or .2 CENTS. Either way, he has a signed quote from Verizon that says ".002 cents" so they're f*cked.

0.00002 x 35,829kb = .71 cents (0.71658)

It's the new math they teach in school today.
Seriously, I'll bet their billing is set up for dollars not cents and probably not enough space to add a couple of more zero's (which is what it sounds like these people are)
Can't get difference between dollars and cents![[ThumbsDown]](graemlins/thumbsdown.gif)
Edit: Just asked the 14 y.o Glad to see he can't be a Verizon employee as he knows the difference :p
