Price increase?!

I just noticed a 33% price increase in my service. December's charge was $71. January's charge was $105. Nothing changed on my account between the two bills. Was there a notice that I missed? I'm ok with a few percentage point increase, but $24? And here's the sad (and monopolistic) news -- I can't switch because we watch Bally Sports for hockey and baseball and no other streaming service has Bally anymore.

A email was mailed to all subscribers in Nov-Dec of the price increase. Content from broadcasters have increased.

Yeah, and I just got a message from Cust Service that my $29.99 "promotion" has expired. What I thought was a price adjustment two years ago (in an effort to keep my $55 Just Right package just right) was really a limited-time promotion, although the rep on the phone assured me the price would never change. So... some trickery was involved unbeknownst to me.

Old news. Time to let it go and move on.

There is no trickery involved. It's all on you. If you don't know what your promotion is and when it ends then that's your fault.

@Ludwick577 No. When I contacted sales to change my plan two years ago, she (the rep) said I could stay with my plan and she would keep the price at $55. NO MENTION OF A PROMOTION. And no paper bills to verify this. Happy snarky new year.

@bcbsncjlj Forget I said anything. Two respondents so far have told me to take a hike. Thanks for that. Another reason I avoid posting here.
