What difference does that make? How is that not strictly better than charging $2/mo no matter what? And thus if raising rates by $2/mo isn't "criminal", how could this be?
The thing about this is that it's somewhat dishonest. They have an advertised price, but then there's an additional fee if you don't buy additional services. It's like going into a store and buying a box of pasta for $2, and then getting charged $3 because you didn't buy some sauce along with it. Sure there was fine print beside the price saying that's the price when bought with sauce, and otherwise a $1 non-sauce-usage fee applies, but the reality is that they're counting on people to not read their bills too carefully.
