Time Warner Cable plans to raise its sports programming fee by $2.25 to $5 per month, and its broadcast programming fee by $1 to $3.75. Comcast plans to raise its broadcast fee by $1.75 to $5, and its regional sports fee by $2 to $3. Phone and satellite companies are planning similar increases, which vary depending on the package.
Starting in early 2016, some Dish subscribers will pay $2 to $8 more per month on TV packages. AT&T’s U-Verse customers will see a monthly increase of between $2 and $4, while satellite-TV provider DirecTV, bought by AT&T this year, will increase its monthly bill between $4 and $8.
This may not seem like a lot, but a dollar here and there adds up. For example, $8 more a month will add $96 a year to your bill. You could almost subscribe to a full year of Netflix or Amazon for just what the rate increase is for Dish and AT&T subscribers.
So tell your friends that if some of them don’t want to pay almost $100 extra in 2016 they need to cancel cable today!
