Conversation is:

So, you're going to raise my rates because the promotion is over. However, I see there's a promotion for new subscribers, for the same rate I'm paying now. So here's what we're going to do:

I'll cancel my service. And then, I'll sign up as a new customer on the promotional rate.

OR

You can just adjust my plan to extend the promotion another year, and save us all a lot of inconvenience.

They adjust my plan, like they did last year, and one extra hour's work per year results in no rate increase.
When I went there to remove something we didnt want from our service, asked them what happens next Feb when our two years are up and they said expect a sizable increase.

Told the lady ok expect to lose a customer. Her next comment was come in during the month of January and we can work something out.

How would someone have loyalty to a business that operates like this.
