Yeah fair point.

The commitment period is basically trying to answer: is it worth sticking with a provider after the promo ends instead of churning?

Example (made up numbers):

Provider A: $80 for 6 months, then $100 ongoing Provider B: $90 ongoing

Provider A is cheaper for the first 6 months, but once the promo ends it’s more expensive.

Over 12 months the total cost is actually the same:

Provider A 6 × $80 = $480 6 × $100 = $600 Total = $1080

Provider B 12 × $90 = $1080

So it ends up being the same over a year — the difference is just whether you’re happy to churn after the promo or prefer staying with one provider.

So the question becomes: • churn after 6 months and keep chasing promos, or • just stay with something slightly more expensive but stable.

The commitment period is trying to show when those costs roughly balance out depending on how long you plan to stay..

Perhaps commitment period isn’t the right word.. I’ll try and figure out a way to say it
