It's a fraud tactic as far as I'm concerned, they markup internet only into
the hundreds of dollars a month, but if you bundle with security edge it's
very affordable, except after 12-36 months now it is even more expensive
than if you had just let them screw you initially.

Sounds like the person you helped turned on Security Edge. They can turn
it off too at
