Both, with Comcast and AT&T, you usually have to call back yearly and threaten to cancel to keep the same rate (or to get the current new-customer rate which is probably even lower, or faster).

I did that 4 months ago. Literally each month since then, it has crept back up so that it is now within $10 of the original bill.

My only other options is an equally shady CenturyLink.

I hate (yes, hate) internet/cable in the U.S. I truly wish we had some honest lawmakers who would do something about this.

Even though it is far from ideal, usually we have an agreement, me an Comcast, that the price will stay the same for a whole year (and I still could cancel service at any time with no penalties)
