Just under a year from this post in April 08.

I don't like it at all. Does anyone know or can one assume that AT&T is going this way as well?

Just 5GB at the first level? If they were my ISP I would bail in a heartbeat.

Hummm...so what happens to those of us with these Price Lock Contracts that they offered a while back??? Do we get the ability to terminate our service earlier than the agreed 2 years because they are changing the terms???

I never did get the draw for the price lock... I mean they're a cable company not a mobile carrier. They don't give you a handset at a subsidy for two years.

the price lock gives you guaranteed rates in two year increments and they can only go up $5 each two years.
how did they break the contract with you Juan45? and they just let you go without a fight?

I figure that it's meant to defuse their competitors' argument that cable rates just keep going up year after year.

Maybe it's because I'm young... Comcast never raised our rates while I had them. I've never experienced a rate change aside from seeing people with 'XX off for the first 3 months' type stuff.

For All San Antonio RR users, this is now the battle line for this type of behavior from ISPs. You guys need to be calling them, threatening, and even canceling your accounts with them. Unfortunately, thats really the only way they'll even think of listening to the thought of curbing this. I wish you all luck - I'll enjoy my DSL until they move to that model too.
