Think that's bad, consider this line from their broadband TOS.
Whatever you do, don't actually use the high volume feature of their
broadband....

 3.6 If you subscribe to Broadband Service:

   1. You may not resell the Broadband Service, use it for high volume
purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute resale
(commercial or non-commercial), as determined solely by Verizon.

 From BoingBoing:

It seems that Verizon's "wireless broadband" service should not be
confused with an actual connection to the Internet:

        NationalAccess and BroadbandAccess data sessions may be used
        with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet
        browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including
access to corporate intranets, email and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force 
        and field service automation). Unlimited
        NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess services cannot be used (1) for
        uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games,
        (2) with server devices or with host computer applications,
        including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts,
        automatic data feeds, Voice over IP (VoIP), automated
        machine-to-machine connections, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file
        sharing, or (3) as a substitute or backup for private lines or
        dedicated data connections.

They certainly have an interesting idea of what "unlimited" means.
What, exactly, can you accomplish on the net without a "machine to
machine connection"?
