VMedia is increasing my internet fee by 25%
Beginning of rant...skip thread if it bothers you.
Well, this morning I got an email from VMedia informing me that they are increasing my internet fee from $39.99 to $49.99 per month, starting March 01, 2015. This is less than one week away. There is hardly any time for me to react, other than sucking it up, for at least a month or two. I found this practice quite nasty. I have been with them for almost two years now (March, 2013). The recent downtime and inconsistent download speed have affected me, but I was willing to suck it up. Other than that, I have been happy with them, until now.
I understand, if you have to increase your fee to make your business viable, that is perfectly fine with me. Everybody has to make a living. But at least have the decency to inform your customers well in advance so they could react appropriately.
Thanks to the good folks here at RFD, it seems Primus has a decent deal going on:
primus-internet-through-costco-25-10-ds ... m-1673627/
primus-costco-fibre-internet-25mb-10up- ... m-1675673/
I don't mind locking in for two years, as it seems the rate has been going up anyway.
If you are a VMedia customer, be aware if you have not received this notice. I am not sure if the rate increase happens on the anniversary.
End of Rant..
Good day!
