    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.
