If it is what it is that's pretty poor but it's not an uncommon way to
approach price change from a commercial perspective.

One of the things I've always liked about Internode is that they get on
the front foot about things like that;

"We're changing our plans. Your plan will be cheaper next month." vs
"We're changing our plans. If you don't call us we'll continue to
administer the pineapple indefinitely."
