ISPs regularly increase prices for long-standing customers while offering promotional rates to new ones, eroding the value of loyalty. Service outages occur without advance customer notification, compounding the frustration of rising costs. There is no standard mechanism for customers to track and dispute unannounced service degradations or price increases against their contracted terms.
