All that is true, but it is also possible to "negotiate" the increase
back. We've done it a couple of times now. As I recall, my wife told the
Comcast rep she didn't want to pay what they were asking, and after a
conversation, the rate was reset to what we've been paying for the last
year.
You both make excellent points. While I'm (now) paying more for the
Frontier fiber I don't have to fight them periodically for a decrease. They
seem to focus on selling faster packages to those who want to stream video
files (or pay MOOGs for all I know) so they tend to leave us slow pokes
alone.
My friend has to threaten DirectTV with leaving them for Dish every 9
months or so when they want to raise her rates. I don't want to have that
distraction, too.
