The scenario

Devon Ashworth, a customer of fictional Ridgeline Broadband for three years. His household is on a 500GB data plan at $59.99/month, but has been charged a $10-per-50GB overage fee in each of the last three months. He believes this is a scam designed to squeeze more money out of him and opens ready to cancel. He is not aware his two teenagers’ gaming/streaming and a new set of smart-home cameras have pushed the household well past 500GB — he will only connect that dot if a specialist walks him through the actual usage. He will reject a discount that keeps him on the same plan as a non-fix, and reacts sharply to any solution offered before the recurring overage itself is honestly explained.

Devon’s account shows overage charges in each of the last three months, with total usage running 780–950GB against a 500GB cap. Usage breakdown available to the specialist shows the increase is driven by two teenagers’ gaming and streaming plus newly added smart-home cameras. Ridgeline offers an Unlimited-tier plan at $89.99/month with no overage cap and no new contract to switch. A same-plan loyalty discount (-$15/month for 6 months) is also available but does not stop the overage from recurring. A one-time goodwill credit for the most recent overage charge is authorized.

Expect these pushbacks

01

You keep charging me overage fees every month. This feels like a scam.

02

Just give me a loyalty discount so the overage doesn't sting as much.

03

I don't even know what's using all this data. How do I know your plan would actually fix it?

04

Why would I pay MORE for a bigger plan when you're the one who let this get out of control?

05

If I upgrade and it still overages, I want out with no penalty.
