Reply to comment by Pjtruslow in PSA: Increasing costs for Xfinity cable and internet by BlueXTC

That's not what we're talking about. Rather, the practice of these companies to raise the rates just a little so that people just kind of accept it rather than dispute it. Multiply that by thousands or millions of subscribers, and you're inflating your profit quite nicely.

I get that. I used to have comcast and they would start you out on a lower than “standard” price and increase it as soon as the price guarantee ended, but would discount it again if you threatened to leave (provided you have options). At least if you get internet only, the price is the price and new customers and existing customers that aren’t locked into an older price will get the same price. The only thing verizon doesn’t do is put you on lower priced equivalent plans that weren’t available when you signed up.
