What is your standard for cutting back on something?

I had something similar happen to me, and it was because while they advertised it at "$8 a month" which I was willing to pay with the assumption I could stop at any time, they billed me at the annual rate of $96. In my case it was a case of not reading the fine print. I was so mad. I definitely didn't plan on that expenditure.

When I signed up for one of the recent online services, I signed on with a promise that “your rate will always remain the standard rate” or wording to that effect.

Well, what they mean by that is I signed on at the “standard rate”. Yes, they will raise the “standard rate” but lucky me because I am locked into the “standard rate” it will be less than…?

I don't want to waste anymore time fighting the circulation people. Guess I will read the funnies and obits for a little more value
