The ridiculous thing is that encryption is so trivial, any criminal can implement it with a few lines of code and can keep their key entirely private, known only to them and whoever they decide. No reasonable person wants kids to be abused,

My guess is you'll be very lucky to get the $49.99 rate, considering all the times they have sent you the wrong rate. I went through this nightmare with Time-Warner before the Charter/Spectrum buyout: they raised my rate from $55
