Bell TV raising rates in New Year
Posted by digitalhome on November 9, 2009
Beginning this month, Bell TV began notifying customers on its website that it would be increasing the amount they pay for television programming beginning January 1, 2010.
The price increases appear to range from $2 to $4 per month for English language subscribers and are a flat $2 per month for French language customers.
The increases apply to all Bell customers, even those with 12 or 24 months contracts.
The following is a list of price increases per month announced by Bell TV by subscription package.
English
Digital Basic – $2
Digital Essentials – $2
Digital Extra – $4
Digital Max – $4
HD Essentials – $2
HD Extra – $4
HD Max – $4
French
HD Personnalisé – $2
HD Essentiel – $2
HD Essentiel Plus – $2
HD Extra – $2
Base Numérique – $2
Numérique Essentiel – $2
Numérique Essentiel Plus – $2
Numérique Extra – $2.
Currently Bell has almost 1.9 million video customers who spend around $70 per month for television. A $2 to $4 increase could conceivably net the company an additional $50 to $75 million annually, however, that assumes that subscribers don’t make changes to their programming packages in 2009.
Previously Bell TV raised package prices on January 1, 2009 by $2 to $5 per package and then introduced a 1.5% fee in September 2009 to offset new taxes introduced by the CRTC this past summer.

It can't be. it is legal because the crooks have written on the agreement that the price is not locked in when you sign a contract. I was dumb enough to sign a contract with bell home phone and my rates went up $2 earlier this yr as well. |

The purpose of the contract is to tie you in so they can get value out of the discounts they presumably gave you when you signed up. Also to bend you over like crazy. |

Don't read the headlines, read the numbers. Bell's Q3 revenue went up by about $20m - and that's with adding in 50% of Virgin Mobile and $80m(?) in revenue from The Source. Behind those new adds, their core businesses suffered. |
