I went to the Quantum web site this morning to look at the explanation of Price for Life since they have updated their web site. At a high level they are basically saying as long as you don't change your service and your current service meaning speed tier is not discontinued, your price will not change. But, they then go on to say any taxes, fees or equipment costs could increase and change your price.
That said the taxes and fees only apply if you get a phone from them or you live in an area in the country where local taxes and fees for internet may exist. We don't have that here in the Villages. But remember when they raised the price of a service from $30/month to $40/month as one poster mentioned? I seem to remember that's when they migrated to the new Wifi7 equipment as I mentioned. So, maybe that was an equipment increase because since then, except for some services increasing by $5/month, I haven't seen any other increases.
The other change is they used to give you up to 4 remote pods at no cost but now you only get 1. Not a big deal since I'm findind you are better off not using a remote pod if you can get adequate coverage with just the main wifi pod. As I mentioned, if the main wifi pod is installed in the right location, here in the Villages "most" homes will not need a remote pod. What I like to do is mount the main pod over the kitchen cabinets and hard wire the office if the home has one. I also discovered you can use a standard wifi extender like from Netgear and it will work with the Quantum Wifi main pod. You might not get all the features if is has anything special but it will extend the signal.
Either way their wording covers them if for whatever reason they need to increase the price.
