I mean I can change to a more or less expensive plan by giving the carrier notice, I assume its fair for the carrier to do the same to me no? If you want to guarantee a price plan, sign a term contract.

Feels like customers want to have their cake and eat it: lock the carrier in, but have no obligations of their own.

No.

Would you feel the same if the landlord of your month-to-month rental upgraded you to a more expensive house?

Sure they can increase the rent, and you can move somewhere else, but there is baseline a expectation that the house you rented will not change.

I mean, if they renovated my unit or even the common areas, and told me I could stay at a higher rent I'd think that was just fine. It happened to me at least once already, come to think of it.

But yeah, they raised the rent on people without term commitments effective immediately, and anyone on a term contract could keep their old rate until it expired.

Again if you don't like the risk of this changing out from under you, sign a term contract, right?


I'm not saying they raise the rent on your current place (which is perfectly fine), I'm saying they move/upgrade you to a more expensive address that you've never seen before.
