In the beginning of 2015 the price was $162 per month, in 2016 it was $191 per month, in 2017 it was $216 and now in Feb. 2017 it has been raised to $249 per month.
Note that I have the very same service today that I had when I first signed up. The price since 2015 has increased over 50%, outlandish!!! As part of my service I have two extra outlets, not boxes, simply connectors, originally I was charged $1.99 each, per month, now they are charging $5.99 each per month, a 300% increase.
I understand that if you are unhappy with the bill that if you call, they will discount it somewhat, that is no way to run a business. Unfortunately, there is little or no competition and we are all stuck with a monopoly gone wild.
I'm sure that other Int./TV/phone companies are doing the same thing, I'd appreciate any of you providing your experiences.
I have century Link and my bill for this month is $105. more than last month. I was told all the discounts have expired and will have to pay this amount until discount become available. Changing my service to another vendor next week.
