Wow, these people are really stupid.

For anyone that didn't take the time to listen, here is a little summary.

This guy calls verizon because he was quoted a data rate of .002 cents per Kb of data and he is being charged .002 dollars per Kb. Verizon cannot understand the difference.

Here is a short quote from the conversation which goes on for a really long time.
Quote:
Customer: Do you recognize that there is a difference between 1 dollar and 1 cent.
Verizon: Yes, definitely
Customer: Do you recognize that there is a difference between half a dollar and half a cent?
Verizon: Definitely.
Customer: Now, do you therefore recognize that there is a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents.
Verizon: No...

Man, I'd love to know the final outcome when he got to head office. This is very sad.
