I suspect few people will - and there's a limit to this, if they add $9 every few months for a different service, eventually you will refuse to pay $$$/month for the service.

Imagine if every speed upgrade from 56k modems had also come with a price increase.

Every few months? That's not what he said.

No, it's not, but if they can increment prices once, why not again? If they can announce extra billing for "infrastructure upgrades" every few years, why not more frequently?

Boil the frog as fast as possible. After all, where would it go?
