    Honestly, these “promises” never last. I had ATT at $50/mo for home internet service and was promised it would never go up. Last year it went to $60 and this year $65. I just switched to Xfinity. More Mbps than ATT, promotional price of $20/mo for a year, it goes up to 35 for year 2, then after that the promotion is over and it’s $57. After the 3rd year ends it will probably go up, but they’ve basically given me 1 free year of internet.

      They didn’t give you shit. You paid them for a service. Corps are not your friends.

          Thanks, yes they did misunderstand. If 57 is the “real” price I’m effectively paying for 1 year of service and getting 2. Also there are no penalties for cancellation after the first year, so if i wanted to go through the trouble of finding another ISP, I could walk away then.
