Price increase April 2025
First complaint: I just received my most recent monthly invoice. My bill went up 37% from $54 to $75 with NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. I called customer service. I would like to commend the agent I spoke with whp put up with my anger as she tried to explain the price increase. It seems that one of the reasons that my bill (and I assume other people's) was largely due to the following "explanation": "Billing Update: Your billing statement no longer includes a credit for Major League Baseball games not being aired." This credit was for $13.
Second, I do not have a MLB package and I never watch MLB. Never. So, increasing my bill by $13 because they no longer issue a credit for something I never watch or a service that I never received is absurd.
I can understand an increase in one of the fees by $1.00 or so.
In addition, I am paying for a "Sports and Entertainment" package but also pay for a "Regional Sports Fee". What in the world is that and aren't they in some way redundant?
Finally, the bottom line is that my bill is going up by a whopping 37% ($20/month) while I receive NO ADDITIONAL SERVICES for that money. Repeat NO ADDITIONAL SERVICES!
None of this seems justifiable though the agent I spoke with tried to make it sound like it is. Just more corporate greed? Quite possible. At the very least I should be receiving some addition service that I ACTUALLY WANT and not see an increase because of some cancelled credit for a service I don't care one bit about.
I am a very dissatisfied customer at this point.

Hello user_saa0f8,I certainly understand your frustration with the increase in your bill. I would be more that happy to take a look at your account to see what ways we can customize the plan and save some money if we are paying for things you don't want.
To maybe clarify some of what you mentioned. The Sports and Entertainment package is a $10 add on to cable that comes with a variety of sports channels not included in normal channel lineups, as well as NFL Redzone, Country Music Channel and Turner Classic movies. We can double-check if there was anything included that you wanted. But if not that can certainly get removed.
The regional sports fee is associated to every cable package. It's a fee we charge to help pay for contracts for your local sports teams to ensure we can provide their games in the local market. Based on what you said it sounds like you were getting a $13 credit every month while we negotiated with your local baseball team. Then the fee went back to the normal price once that contract was signed again.
We can clarify all of this and certainly make sure you're getting the best deal for you. If you could please send a direct message with your full name and address we can look at the account.
