My billing period begins on the first of each month, and the amount that I was charged for the period Jan 2 through Feb 1 was 79.90 for VaVaVoom. I don't pay any rental fees due to having 1 STB that I purchased in January of 2004. Bottom line for me is that there has been no price increase.......YET. My grandfather status is active, and I have always had VaVaVoom and never added or changed anything.
