Yeah, the sales team told my colleague and I the same thing. Fiber+ allowed resale at first, but then they changed the terms (the terms allow for this as well). I tried to get them to red line the agreement and force them to take that out and the deal fell apart. The sales team will do anything to make a deal, but if they decide to pull your card over terms you are screwed. Is it worth risking your business? I am sure that you all remember Doug Clark? He is the one they shut down at like four locations where he had service They even notified the PSC in advance that he was in violation of their TOS (which they changed after the fact), so that he had no recourse. I would steer clear of that Fiber+ plan, and those sales reps that are trying to get you to sign anyway if it were me. Ask for a different sales rep, get a hold of the national wholesale department.
