Greetings Kish,

I kind of like these kinds of contracts. There is a very good reason
why I like them and I'll be glad to share it with you.

These kinds of contracts allow the company to offer their service at
the lowest base rates. Customers which are irresponsible, can't plan
ahead, and who choose not to read are effectively subsidizing
customers who do all three. If a person such as myself rented a home
for a period of two years I could sign up, cancel at the end of the
term, and pay a lot less because others were subsidizing the system.
The same service with a "cancel anytime" plan would cost more per
month and for someone like me more overall (even if it would be less
overall for you). It's kind of like rebates ... if you know you are
not going to send in the rebate form then do not buy the product. If
you do not send in the rebate form in time or you do not follow the
stupid little rules like circle the purchase on the receipt then you
do not get to complain. If you pay your credit card balance every
month it's free. If you pay your balance late every month there is a
$35 late fee plus interest. As far as the rate increase goes please
take a look at how fast the post office has been raising rates, and
they do not even offer more service! You did, after all, have 30 days
to cancel and not pay the fee.

Hope this helps in the future,
William
