Annual Billing Question Re: Price Increase & HD upgrade possibilities

[M5OD-R1]

If I'm on annual billing, paid through July, will I be insulated from the January price increases until then?

Also, do I need to get off of annual billing before I qualify for free-HD-for-life (w/ CC Autoplay amd 24mo. commitment)?

What about the $99 HD upgrade fee option. Does that require me to be a monthly rather than annual sub?

Thanks guys.

They no longer do annual billing so I'm afraid they'd want to make you pay monthly to do the upgrade. I don't understand why you wouldn't let a person give you $ for a year of services but that may just be me.

When I had Annual billing there was no increase during it since I paid in full for the year.
If you paid for the $10 fee already with an annual payment, I don't know that can be changed during the annual contract.

Get off annual billing. It's no longer beneficial to pay in advance anymore.

I used to pay annually myself. Then when they came out with the America's everything pack they told me 'your already getting a discount sir' when I asked if they had an annual discounted price.

So I said screw them, and set it on autopay and requested a paper bill so they have to pay the postage.

Also, if you get 2 or more of the movie channel packages you actually pay more since there is no bundled discount.

But, in this case it is probably cheaper to keep the annual pay since you lag behind the rate increase until July.
