I've seen on other forums and I think once here, the price stays the same at 5.99 for the first year IF you've signed up with in the past year effective I believe April 7th of 2012 until April 7th 2013. So if yours has went up and you fall with in this date you should prolly call and get the extra $2 removed until your year is up. Just figured I'd give everybody a heads up. Techs are using this to their advantage by telling people they're saving them $2 a month and getting more sales
