Make sure you learn to read their agreement when you sign up. Don't cry about about it after the fact.
Per section 9B, I needed to be notified about these changes. I did not see any notice of this on my bill, and I certainly did not receive a phone call. No note was hand delivered to me. I guess that means that they must have "deposited in the U.S. Mail" a letter to me. Which I may (or may not) receive well after the changes in my programming took place. I am curious to see if any such letter ever arrives.
"B. Notice. If we send you notice, it will be considered given when deposited in the U.S. Mail, addressed to you at your billing address or hand-delivered to you. Our notice to you will also be effective if provided on your billing statement or by telephone. If you give notice to us, it will be deemed given when received by us at the address listed on the first page of this Agreement."
I'm not crying (yet), but it would have been nice to have some more advanced notice. If I wanted to jump ship, I would like to have been able to do it with as minimal an interruption as possible.
