Anybody notice that the pricing has gone up a bit?

I pretty much have only dealt with Familyshare plans.
In the past it's always seemed to be the case that the
"regular" plans following promotions were equal to or
better than the promotional plans preceding them.

It appears that it didn't happen this time (and I actually
switched to the promo this time).

I went for the 100 bonus minute promotional plan they
offered in Dec and the first week or 2 of Jan.

Old plan: 1500 AC -> $100 + $20 (2nd line) = $.08/min
My plan: 2100 AC -> $100 +$20 (2nd line) = $.057/min

Current plans:

1500 AC -> $100 (2nd line incl) = $.066/min
2500 AC -> $150 (2nd line incl) = $.06/min

If we do the same thing for 3 lines:
Old: 1500 AC -> $100 + $20 + $20 = $.093/min
Mine: 2100 AC -> $100 +$20 +$20 = $.066/min
Cur: 1500 AC -> $100 + $10 = $.073/min
Cur: 2500 AC -> $150 + $10 = $.064/min

So, outside of feeling pretty good about switching
at the right time, I think this may be the first time
that prices have gone up after a promotion... maybe
things have sort of bottomed out?

It only works out that way on those higher price points and only on the
share plans. The ones below that are just as good or better than before.
