Bakersfield, CA | Price on the move
The thing is, when you sign up, you get that price, but, when they want to up the price, your stuck in a contract, and you have to pay the ever increasing price. |

uhh, I'm pretty sure if there is any sort of price increase, you have the right to cancel your service if you wish..
I'm sure cable must follow the same rules as the wireless scum.

Yeah. Increasing the price without giving you the option to terminate would be called "breach of contract."

Hmm. When I reported my packet loss issues, not only did TWC/RR credit me for the poor service, they noticed that I was still on a Comcast billing plan and bumped me into a proper RR plan. This had the effect of dropping my bill roughly eight dollars, and bumping my provisioned line speed *up* by ~20% (which I am now getting, now that the issues have been resolved). I actually figured they'd bump me into the Premium tier, which would've been roughly the same price, but they put me on the cheaper Standard plan.
All this done by the same rep who scheduled the tech visit *and* at midnight local time. Much better than Verizon, where if you want service credit or anything billing related, you have to call during the week during normal business hours, and tech support reps can't do jack as far as that's concerned.
