The article says you can still buy it at a retail store like Best Buy though.
Probably a way to lower initial cost for new customers. $400 or however much it is, is a hefty ask before you even tried the service.
they had been offering a no-cost equipment promo in some coverage areas for awhile, with only a year or something commitment. you paid $20 to ship the gear. your recurring bill was the monthly plan rate. that's it.
they're probably going back and now charging those sign-ups a 'rental' fee.
How dare you use logic in an emotional,hate-inducing post!
lololol
Till they go out of stock.
Yeah. If you want one do it now.
