Too Expensive to Justify

In the last 6 months, my cable bill has gone up twice. Once about 6 months ago. I was paying a very respectable $78 per month for high-speed internet and "advanced" cable. I was happy then. About 6 months ago, I got a bill for a little more than I expected (around $99). That was quite a bit more than I was expecting. I called ready to cancel my cable as I really could not afford a cable bill that high. I talked to a very nice lady who was able to get my bill down to $90 ($12 more than I was used to, but manageable).

I was expecting my cable bill to arrive soon but I was not expecting what awaited me. I opened the bill to find that I was expected to pay $120 for next month's service (both TV and internet). The internet portion of my bill has risen by $30 (to $60 from $30). This is unacceptable in my opinion. I know I will not pay the bill in full as I don't think TV and internet are worth that dollar amount. At the moment, I am planning on calling the cable company first thing in the morning to try to get this straightend out.
