CenturyLink is doing this to their customers too -- Their contract says "If we raise the price, you can cancel the service with no penalties"
Doesn't that fucking negate the WHOLE purpose of a price guarantee?
The purpose of the price guarantee is to guarantee having that service at that price. The guarantee is guarantee of service too.
It negates the point of a contract. What kind of contract even has a term of length without a set price?
The kind designed to get people to sign up. They can worry about making more money off them later by deciding not to honor it.
