Why in the name of god would you sell a package for 80euro a month to a 70 year old widow knowing there was a deal coming for the same upgrade with a major difference,35 euro a month for 6 months,within days??? No one will convince me that this was not known when the TV ad was on the following night, Very bad business…

Does that mean this elderly person could have saved 45 euro a month for 6 months if she had signed up a day later?

Why does a widow deserve advanced not of upcoming deals more than anyone else

If the price was going up should they have held off to get more money out of her or would that be wrong?
