Comcast Raising These too!

Comcast Is Raising Their Broadcast TV & Regional Sports Fees

By Luke Bouma on December 19, 2017 in News

We already talked about how Comcast is raising the price on their TV packages, but they didn’t stop there. Now it is being reported that Comcast is raising their broadcast TV fee to $8 a month and their regional sports fee to $6.75 a month in some areas.
What is the broadcast TV fee? It is the fee to have local channels included as part of the TV package you paid for. It will now add up to an extra $96 a year. Over a two-year contract that will add up to $192.
The regional sports fee is the fee you pay to have access to the sports you watch as part of your TV package. This fee is going up in some areas to $6.75 a month. Over a year that will add up to an extra $81 a year. Over a two-year contract that is $162.
In total, you will pay an extra $14.75 a month for these two fees on top of your TV package. Over a two-year contract that’s an extra $354 in just these fees.

Comcast Is Raising Their Prices on Almost Everything

By Luke Bouma on December 12, 2017 in News

Are you ready to pay more? As a new year draws to a close cable TV is back to their old ways of raising prices. Recently Comcast has quietly started to announce new pricing for almost everything. Thanks to a few readers who sent us their price increase notices we now have a break down of what Comcast is doing.
Want TV? Get ready to pay between $1 and $5 a month more for your base cable TV package. Want to add a premium channel? Comcast is raising the price of many premium channels including Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, and the Movie Channel $2 a month. In the past they cost just $10, now you will pay $12 a month.
Miss a payment? The late fee for Comcast is going up to $10 for every missed payment. Are you renting a modem? That will now cost $11 a month up $1 a month.
Even Internet is going up again—about $2 a month on average. Want the Internet Plus Latino option? That is going up $3 a month to $75.95 a month.
This is nothing new. It seems like almost a yearly tradition for cable networks. Although Comcast is the first one I have heard of raising their prices, they likely won’t be the last.
The good news is you can still dump cable TV and become a cord cutter. With fees like this cord cutting is looking better every day.
