Digicel does this like every 6 months. Article heading makes it seem its something new

They real sickening tbh. When I initially signed up with them the bill was $200 or just over that. It crept up to $250 and just recently got the email saying that the legacy bundles are phasing out, that the discount I received for 1 year ($50 per month) is coming to an end and my new bill will be $305 per month.

Last time they did this and told me that I had to pay more, I pack up all equipment and told them I coming in and dew days to drop back everything. The evening of the next day, a rep called me and said they "willing to keep me on the old system for the same price".

I say ok and my price is still the same as my first bill ($299 a month + $29 for an additional cable box).

It's hilarious listening to trinis complaining about a $15 price increase for a service lasting a month but counting down the days for Starbucks to open to overspend on ordinary coffee.

$299 package gone up by $6 for NO CHANGE in speed or channels. crooks all of them. meanwhile TATT want t stop allyuh from streaming but cant stop the cable companies from rebroadcasting ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX and other illegal cannels outside of the USA and charging consumers for the channels for 20 years. more crooks.

Since I moved to Central 2 years ago, I signed up for the Basic Fibre package, phone, internet (75MBps) and TV for $350. Since then, I recently got notice that I will be bumped to 100MBps and now I pay $378 per month. It's not bad and I've found Digicel to be reliable - no downtime, always full download speeds (circa 12.5 MBps) and good upload speeds (circa 15MBps). I only use the TV for government press conferences etc and I don't use the telephone, so I have some optimizations to do.

This.

I remember when i started using DIGI internet 3 years ago it was $190 something....then it went up.....then again.....then this.
So just under 3 years, it went up 3x, crazy.
