leave pricing out entirely.

So I have to actually do research instead of being baited in? That's fine too.

Nothing better than Verizon advertising $65 a month, which is already too much, then when you actually try to sign up it's not just more; they straight up refuse to tell you what it will be (yes, I tried asking).

I know that's not cable but they both play the same games. No, it's not impossible for you to just tell a customer what you're going to charge them.
