might be paying for an infrastructure upgrade against the likes of future cyber attacks... also the massive amount of infrastructure they have costs x amount to maintain, if people are suspending their subscriptions with covid then the cost per person is driven up. you'd normally expect with bigger uptake of a technology the cost per person would go down...... given the price hike there may be a large no of people downgrading or stopping their subscriptions.. and charging people to suspend the service may not have halted that much.
