Nothing makes me sure, just that my current situation is one I can live 
with.  If the circumstances change, then I'll change at my earliest 
opportunity.  If they want to keep me as a customer, they won't mess with 
it.

Same here.  My DSL modem died and to get a replacement provided, I had to 
agree to another year of service.  Of course, that was more than a year 
ago so now it's a moot point, but at the time, I was annoyed because it 
was *their* hardware and not mine, so basically my choice was to drop 
them or sign up for another year (or buy my own DSL modem and be even 
more unsupported than I am now).
