Ok ok... most of us realize that we agree our "rights" away in this case (and a lot of other cases). However, even without the "right" to be informed about a rate change, and within full agreement of the Terms of Service, I don't think anybody here would think it would be fair for the "rate change without notice" to suddenly jump to $2 per minute. It looks like that possibility is within Vonage's "right" to do, and to enforce full payment on those calls. On the other hand, we shouldn't reasonably be expected to check the rate sheet every time we want to make a call in order to make sure we're paying the rate we think we're paying.
Now, I'm being overly one sided here because I feel the backlash was a little strong. What people are saying, is that as responsible company, Vonage should inform people of rate changes, even though the TOS do not require them to. I don't think many people are actually upset about the 1 cent change, but rather the lack of information.

Random Evil example: SprintPCS screwed me a few months ago. I have a shared minute plan, with free calls to other SprintPCS phones. Their usage tracker has always been wrong by hundreds of minutes on my account because it would count the free calls against my plan. So it would seem that I ran out of minutes half way through the month. Knowing this, I would guestimate how many minutes I had used. Two months ago, they fixed the tracker in the middle of the month without notice. The usage tracker said about 620 minutes out of my 500 minute plan. Any other month I would actually be billed for usage well within my 500 minutes. However, they changed the tracker without notice. No amount of bitching to anybody there would get me a credit for any part of the extra $50 they charged me that month. I'm still waiting for a call back (a month later) from the supervisor that was supposed to call back within 2 business days. Their whole argument is that they are not responsible for the accuracy of their usage estimate per the Terms of Service. Oh well...
