Yeah, when my two years was up on my last contract they jumped it $10. I figured it was a prod to get me to sign up for another 24 months in exchange for dropping the increase. I went round and round with several of them for three weeks about the $35 in miscellaneous taxes and fees, especially the "local sports" fee of now $8.50 a month. What local sports, where the fuck is this money going? Why am I paying your gross receipts tax for you.

So I finally dropped a bunch of stuff and dropped the bill by $55 a month. That's why the speed increase surprised me. I would guess they found out they had the capability and it makes good ad copy for attracting people getting into streaming services.
