I would expect to see a 20-30% increase in prices and if the customer base doesn't have major cows about that it going to a 50% increase within a year.

And here I thought both companies have said over and over that prices will not go up. I guess Uturn knows something they don't. :roll:

one of the ridiculous stipulations was a 6 year price freeze

why do people think they can just raise the price and we will have to pay it?
it's a voluntary thing, if I think it's not worth it, I can cancel at anytime.

I figured because about a hundred times a day, they promised not to raise prices if they merge. you really should try it. you can get a radio for 20 bucks and just subscribe for a month 12.99 if you dont like it, no big deal just cancel. no hassle, no penalties.
