Price Creep

Cox is always doing some unethical practices. I don't have much of a choice as this is the only game in town as far as cable goes. They are really good at price creeping in their billing process. They nickel and dime you over a period of time and this goes on all year,  every year. I understand when the package plan is over the price will go up, but then the gradual increase over time every couple of months starts to wear on me. Does anybody else see this happening with their bill? I ask every once in awhile and they find a way to lower the bill, but a couple months later...and the price creep starts again. It is tiresome to keep dealing with this. Has anyone found a way to counter this? Thanks for any help in advance. And I posted this on the internet forum, but I have a package plan that includes cable, internet, and phone. I don't use the phone feature, but the package was cheaper with it at the initial purchase.
