Youre data card might not have changed in 2 years but everything else has. Data is in high demand everywhere in the world, networks are more strained, technology is improving, speeds are getting faster etc. etc.
To add, prices arent forever. I am sure when you got those cards you signed some paperwork that had all the details in it. 2 years is a good deal, most discounted pricing is only good for 1 year.
Plus its 2$...They are also doing lots of positive things for ppl customers and non customers alike that I dont see you mention.
They may be, and THOSE people can pay for whatever it is they are doing for them. As far as "strained" data, bandwidth, etc. Cox spends a reasonable amount of money sending snail mail promotions telling me how very awesome their upgrades, speeds, technology is. Realistically, THAT's where the increase in fees are going - advertising and promotion. And sorry, upping ANY price 100% is NOT a good deal.
