CenturyLink prices are fixed, year in and year out, unless you make a change to your service.
In the 25 years that I have had broadband access to my homes, via DSL initially and then fiber optic, the price has remained remarkably constant: it was about $45 per month 25 years ago and is still $45 per month. What has not remained constant are the bandwidths; we have had roughly two orders of magnitude increase in bandwidth over that period of time and 3 orders of magnitude improvement is actually available now. Considering inflation, the cost has actually dropped over the last 25 years.

Whatever the newest promotion was - that's the one I wanted, if it meant paying less than the 50% increase.
I don't ever expect the exact same price year after year, that's not reasonable. Their costs go up, their stockholders demand more, their overhead increases, licensing fees go up, etc. An extra buck or two a year won't break the bank for me. But a 50% increase in a single year is a deal-breaker.
