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.
At least you can get out.
inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.
