I guess this is a consequence of everyone cutting the cable. Their business model is addicted to high monthly rates and they will get their pound of flesh one way or another (instead of tightening their belt and adapting to lesser monthly revenue).

I am paying Cable One $55/month (recently up from $50) for 100Mb/3Mb speeds. I finally got some decent networking gear that allows me to actually use those speeds. :)

My old Airport Extreme was not cutting it. When it finally died, I had to throw in a POS Level One wifi router we had laying around the shop. What a turd that was. I just put in a Luxul router, POE switch, and 1510 WAP. My 2.4Ghz congestion sucks nuts. Too many neighbors with crap all over every channel. Using Speedtest app, I am lucky to get 35-40Mpbs down speeds. I am the only one using 5GHz that I can see. So I get 100+....same as I get using a wired connection. Not bad. :) So far so good.

They keep threatening to bump me up a tier because we use more than our cap allows every month. They have not done it yet. I actually called and tried to upgrade, and they just gave me a credit (virtually a free month), and then back to normal. Not sure who screwed up that one, but I did not ask any questions. :) I have just received my 2nd final notice about going over the cap. Whatever.
