They sent an email notifying their customers that, pursuant to a court settlement, they are changing their contract with their customers. The court settlement doesn't require them to do this or us to accept, but you do have to opt out.
The new contract, based on my reading (but without comparing to the old contract) and based on some web commentary I've seen, is worth opting out of. It mostly just reserves extra rights to VW, including the right to bill you 175ドル if *they* terminate service, not to reimburse you for dropped calls, not to promise you your phone number, to make software changes to your phone without your consent, etc.
Here's the most useful link I found:

Here's a non-VW-hosted copy of the contract in question:

Anyone ever read their TOS for FIOS?? A customer of mine recently signed up for it and the last line in the TOS said that they could change the agreement at any time with or without notice.
At their wireless division was thoughtful enough to at least tell you they were going to screw you.
