For $1 per month extra I can get 100Mbps, which sounds like a good deal until I tried to lock it in. In actuality, I would have to sign up for $60 per month, then change from payment by credit card to bank account, and the rate would rocket after 12 months, none of which was highlighted in the original offer.
You're lucky that you were only paying $20. I've been paying $50 since we moved in. They also doubled our speed from 50mbp to 100mbp at no "extra" charge. We're locked in til May, and then I call them and threaten to cancel unless they give us whatever "deal" for new customers charges the same $50 as the last deal did.

That's what I do every year. At the end of the year, ALWAYS call them. That's how the deal works.
