Box fees to me are the biggest scam going. Those things ABB is using have been paid for over and over again.

The only reason I still pay ABB for an HD box is I haven't committed to cable long-term with an HTPC.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27963056 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:05:49 EDT Re: No New Channels, Slew of Fee Increases http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27960857
My favorite is the digital receiver fee is now up to $10 a month. I had one of these that I got from Charter in 2000 for a TV in a spare bedroom. It used to be $3.95 a month then... amazing how the cost of providing a 13 year old box costs $10/mo now when it was $4 a month brand new. No longer made sense the keep it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27960857 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:43:37 EDT Re: No New Channels, Slew of Fee Increases http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27887660 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27887660 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:26:21 EDT Re: No New Channels, Slew of Fee Increases http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27886293 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27886293 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:09:15 EDT Re: No New Channels, Slew of Fee Increases http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27884911 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27884911 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 02:55:57 EDT No New Channels, Slew of Fee Increases http://www.dslreports.com/forum/No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27884500
But next month Limited service jumps $1.83, Value jumps $2.74, Digital Plus jumps $3.78, DVR's jump $1.

Cinemax jumps to $18.95 from $16.99 (for 3 channels, no ThrillerMax, no 5StarMax, WomanMax, @Max or OuterMax), having 2 premiums jumps $2, 3 premiums jump $5.

For internet, Starter jumps $1 for those without video, $2 for those with video. Max jumps $2 for those with video. MegaMax jumps $2/month. Express and Unleashed jump $3/month.

Phone service jumps $5/month.

$1 more for any digital boxes, extra $2 for HD service, extra $1 for modem rental, extra $1 for wire maintenance.

Most significant price increases in the industry, least amount of content. Great negotiators you've got there, ABB.

In August, they're basically going to be charging me $200/month not even having a DVR, no additional premiums, and 10/1 internet. Is it any wonder your customers feel absolutely no loyalty to you?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/No-New-Channels-Slew-of-Fee-Increases-27884500 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:14:16 EDT
