With my MCI Mail bill today was an insert saying that they are going to have a rate change November 1. The rate for an MCI Mailbox will now be THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR! It was free when I signed up, then $15 a year. They are also raising Telex rates.

It's highly unlikely that I will renew my subscription next year.

I'd say it's more of a "fee increase" or a "charge increase" than a "rate increase" because the costs per letter are not going up. Anyhow, the annual mailbox fee has been $25 for some time now; Tad/Paul/Tadpole (is that how you got the nickname?), check how much you were charged on your last anniversary. Although the stated annual mailbox fee was $25 when I signed up this past April, it was waived for my first year under some special that I was told I had lucked into. Perhaps such specials are very frequent and either just about everyone gets the first year's fee waived, or perhaps Tad also signed up under such a special offer and the stated annual mailbox fee was already greater than zero at the time. Customers on the preferred pricing option (which is still $10 per month) will have the annual fee waived after the first year, as before; I called and checked on that as soon as I received the notice in my own September bill (which, by the way, arrived rather earlier in the following month than previous bills had, around October 8 rather than the nineteenth or twentieth; they must be trying to improve their cash flow).
