This is a weird move to me. My initial inclination is to cancel whenever my service gets shittier for the same price but the yearly Ultimate plan is cheaper than what we were paying before so I wonder how they came up with this…

They're trying to shake people out of a contract that favors a set price, not prone to sudden increases. The Ultimate plan looks great now, then in a year it will be double the cost and in another year it'll be double again.

If it's cheaper now they're just suckering people in until they double the price with 5 days warning.
