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)
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).
This is one reason why Google should stop asking you to update all software automatically (and they are asking you, what seems like, multiple times a day?).
They should show the shadow banned posts by default... they are so light anyways that you can barely see them if you don't highlight them with the mouse
