They do what all companies do, rely on the laziness of their customers. Insurance companies, cable companies, etc. all give nice promotional rates for new customers yet show their true form by sticking it to their long term ones.
$70 for internet, $20 for phone, $10 equipment rental, 2nd tier cable package $100, taxes, fees, etc. and it's $250. And that's not counting Amazon Prime & Netflix.
That doesn't even include what I pay for phone from Verizon, another $40. This is why I would like to try the Spectrum phone + internet. Convert the home phone to a mobile line and get the 2nd one free.
