Who else paid more this month? Are other large US hosts doing this too?

I would have shopped around, apart from the fact that by coincidence or conspiracy, they migrated me to a much faster server just 1 week before the price hike. I received an email one day saying "We're moving you to a much better server", they moved me and it is a lot quicker, then the next week the price went up.
If they did that on purpose hoping to keep me, it worked.
