This is the new reality we live in: one-year "special" deals to get you to sign up and then a price increase. The majority of people will just live with it. You need to be prepared to call every year to get the "special" deal for another year or switch providers. I live on the southside so I have access to 3 internet providers. I use CenturyLink and have been happy and they seem to be receptive to the concept of providing me with the latest "special" deal as long as I am willing to call up and ask for it.
Another thing, you can live with a lot less internet bandwidth then you realize. While 100 Mbits/sec sounds good, in reality you probably won't utilize it unless you have a habit of downloading lots of pirated movies. If you use Netflix, 3-5 Mbits/sec will provide you with Hi-Def.

I don't trust them and that means I don't want to do business with them.
