Re: Why does Verizon hate it's long term customers?

If I were still on my original plan, I could upgrade my iPhone 5c to an iPhone 6 for only about $100 on a 2 year contract.  With activation fee of $40 plus taxes and fees, it's still only about $180.  That is a substantial discount vs. purchases the phone outright.  Since I was already on a data plan, my monthly fee wouldn't have increased.

On this plan, if I were to actually use the upgrade, I would have to pay an extra $20/month over 2 years.  That's an extra $240 that I wouldn't have had to pay had I been on the original plan.  So I can only take it, that Verizon doesn't like these loyal long term customers who have grown accustomed and satisfied with their old plans.
