Right, I remember that now that you mention it. They offered a $30/month service for a short period then increased it to $40 but that was the only increase I've seen in 4 years with Quantum. They were also migrating from their Wifi 6 customer equipment to the new Wifi 7 equipment at that time.
As far as locking in the price, here is an example of what I mean. Many have the 500Mbs service for $50. Recently they increased the price for that same service to $55 for new customers in some areas of the Villages. None of my old sign-ups at $50 got that $5/month increase. Another case is where about two years ago there was that 1Gbs service for $35/month offer that lasted about a month. Again that service is now $65/month and none of the $35/month customers price changed. Technically you are correct. They have wording that says the price can change but it's been pretty stable and I expect it to stay that way. Even if AT&T aquires Lumen, their pricing on fiber internet is not too much different. Nothing is guaranteed but as you said, the cost is "still a bargan" if you can get it.
