Those that have paid a year in advance probably have a yearly contract,
whereas those that are paying monthly probably only have a monthly contract
and, as such, could have the charges varied on a month-by-month basis. I
don't think they would go to this extreme (hopefully) as it would cost them
a lot informing each customer in advance of a price change, just so said
customer could decide whether they wanted to continue with the altered
rate.

Then again, they may work on the basis that the contract, is renewable
yearly although payments are accepted monthly.

As you said, we will have to wait and see what happens in the near future.
We may be lucky and find we get a better service, with the same fee, or it
may get worse, and we get a price-rise into the bargain. Only time can tell.
