So my cable/internet rate went up an extra $17 this month. It was increased $5 earlier this year too for a total of $22 more than this time last year.
However, they were not willing to negotiate the price so I ended up dropping cable completely. In the past they would magically find a cheaper bundle if you threatened to drop service but that may not be the case anymore.
edit: they claimed that in the October bill, they mentioned rate increases will happen in the November bill. Nothing was mentioned in my October bill but it was mentioned in a friend's bill.
