New $5 home security service maintenance fee

[TuesdayL]

I was surprised to see the recent addition of $5 per month being added to my bill for the purpose of "security system maintenance".   I would have thought that system maintenance would be already factored into the base fee.  This leaves me to wonder what justifies this $5 per month increase in cost to the consumer.

The same here. Increasing bill by 5$ as maintenance fee plus last month partial fee for the same reason. An additional 10% under new term. Not even sending heads up on that. This is an extorsion

I was charge $5 too and would like an explanation.  There has been zero maintenance done on my system since I signed a contract 13 years ago.  This is not ok.
