Well, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be cancelling my account, switching to the lesser of two evils, and NEVER looking back, but I figured I'd describe my situation a bit here for posterity.
Up until now I've been paying 89.99 a month for borderline garbage 30/5 service in a building with a centralized unit. The one saving grace was the relatively consistent speeds (albeit stonge age ones).
Today, I decided to add a few channel packages in order to watch some MLB playoff games. I was informed this would cost me an additional 49ish. Okay, I can deal with this during baseball/football season.
Then, I get an email:

Yeah, no.
Just no.
I have positively no qualms with cancelling my service and telling as many people as will listen to never ever use this service.
