Just like insurance companies then?

Astound broadband just did that.
My $29.99 bill went up to $55. No communication.
I immediately cancelled. It was a 2 hour inconvenience to switch, but it's about sending a message.

T-Mobile makes a big deal of its “price lock” guarantee, but that apparently only applies to its newer, more expensive plans.
Uh, no. That's been their deal for the 20 years I've been a customer. That's why we're still with them despite their actual service being spotty and poor. If they're changing it now, they'll change it again in the future for their more expensive plans. We were already considering switching to Verizon since we can't even get Internet right in front of their headquarters, or at the baseball stadium they own. Now we're definitely going to change. It would be one thing if their coverage was great, but it's not. They brag about having the fastest network all the time, and they do have it, but you have to be within a couple hundred yards of a tower to get those speeds. Any further and it falls off dramatically, eventually putting you in the internet friend zone, where you're not getting any.

This is why I’m glad I buy my phones unlocked. If they try to raise my price, I’m moving on. Probably to Verizon, to start, but may start checking out some of the other options like Mint or GoogleFi.
I switched to Mint a few months ago from T-Mobile and saved so much money, plus Mint is just a reseller of T-Mobile so it's the same network. Unfortunately though Mint was bought out by T-Mobile so it's just a matter of time before they stop offering the same service at a fraction of the price.
You were able to port your number over with no issue?
Tmo bought Mint, you're aware?
