The way the tech explained it to me on the phone doesn't seem right, so I thought I'd ask here for clarification.

He said Fusion contract renews every year, forever. Wow, can't believe I found a policy more onerous than the cell phone companies.

Anyway, so I told him, assuming I've been a customer for 4.5 years, then I move to a non sonic area, sell my house, or die, that means I'm half way into year 5 of my contract and I'd pay an ETF. He said yes. Really?

So if I'm on life support, I should have them delay pulling the plug until the small window between year 5 ending and 6 beginning so I don't pay an ETF?

When I asked why regarding this policy, he said its so Sonic doesn't lose money on people setting up and canceling soon (which I totally agree with) but my scenario (and actual customer history) is around 4.5 years so I asked if Sonic is still "unsure about my commitment" but he reiterated policy.

Hmm, what am I missing?

Sorry for the misinformation. The contract is simply 12 months, then it's month to month.

If you were to move, or upgrade, that could start a new term, but that'd be at your option and clearly disclosed.

Thanks. That makes sense. The way he described it sounded impossible but he was so sure I believed him. Perhaps some tech retraining on the policy for the call center. He as tech, not customer billing, but still...

Yep, we will run that down. Lots of things changing here, so training is a challenge to stay on top of.
