   Well, you're never safe.  Here's the part I love with Verizon's Business 
   TOS:  It's up to YOU to monitor their website for changes to the TOS.  So 
   even if they made that pledge, what they're doing here is essentially 
   reserving the right to change it at any time: 

I wonder if that has ever been challenged legally.  I vaguely recall 
reading about a case (on Groklaw?) where that kind of "we can change 
terms whenever we like, and you're responsible for constantly visiting 
the site and diffing the terms" was considered unreasonable.  In this 
case, the early termination fee would probably be even more 
unreasonable.
