hmm, apart from already mentioned statements by other posters; I think inflation as we see it today, is perfectly understandable reason to justify increase in rate, companies increase rates for services all the time, sometimes accompanied only by meaningless jargon in the end I think it all comes down to who has more leverage: - can they find someone else for the old rate + risk and cost of hiring someone new - can you walk away and find another customer for the new rate
