Dear customers, we lost HEVC so now we’re poor, anyways here’s a $7.99 ($18.99 if you want 4K) price increase on your plan effective tomorrow. Also we have removed all your favorite shows and movies, but a new season of Too Hot To Handle is coming soon! Oh and now it’s only one profile, so if your kid wants to watch TV, it will be an extra $23.99 per profile (for HD, $57.99 for 4K). We also decided to implement ads in certain shows. Thanks for being a faithful customer since when we only had DVDs in the mail.
