Greetings.
I will cordially call bullshit.
First, cancelling premium channels has absolutely nothing to do with the bundle. The bundle pricing is typically offered in term contract. The premium channels can always be cancelled to decrease a bill. There is 0 chance you cancelled movie channels and your bill went up. Movie channels do not have anything to do with the bundles. The bundle in your case is for TV, Internet, and Phone -- if you choose to have DVR, extra movie channels, more digital boxes.. those are extra expenses on top of your bundle price.
Welcome to the real world where you have to pay for things and understand contracts and how to get deals.
