[Bill] Internet Blast, Price Hike $48 more in two years 2014 and 2015I was waiting for the famous speed increase note on my bill but nothing so far, instead what I found was another price hike for 2015. Blast will be $100 by 2020 My salary has not been increased in the last 8 years, but internet price is always going up. Why? |

Re: [Bill] Internet Blast, Price Hike $24 more per year for 2015Because they can, and they know you can't go anywhere else for internet. |

It's already going up again and almost 80 bucks. The up side is the speed has been going up. SO if you want to save some cost. When Blast goes from 50 to 105Mbps in your area, downgrade your service to performance. You will be back at 50Mbps. Only down fall is upload sucks and by the time Performance gets to the price of Blast in a few more years you will run out of "downgrade" options as nothing else will exist lower anything near the speeds :/ IE, fooked. |

Back in 2003, my Comcast HSI (just one speed then, now called Performance), was 1.5/0.128 and was $45 (bundled with video). It stayed that price for years while increasing to 8 or 12 down before the price hikes started. Now it's 25/5 (30/6 measured), and $54. Those of you with the qualifying bundles that let you get Blast! speeds get an even better deal. |

Well SOMEONE has to pay for those lawsuits and revenue losses for the X1 credits, and we can't have Brian Roberts having last year's limo, can we? Sarcasm aside, like others have said "because they can". Think how great it will be if the merger goes through. Welcome to the corner of "Rock" and "Hard Place". |

While post merger Comcast will indeed have more victims to exploit, I suspect that most TWC customers are already used to supplying their own lube. |

Switch to wireless or DSL, it will be much better. *sarcasm off* Because they know they've got you by the nuts, one of the main reasons why we need Title II regulation of captured markets. And forget that ridiculous TWC merger, which is all about capturing even more HSI market share. |

While post merger Comcast will indeed have more victims to exploit, I suspect that most TWC customers are already used to supplying their own lube. The price is $134 with Phone US,Canada and Mexico free upgrade With 108/10 internet with a few premium channels included I think it was only 10$ more for 300 mbit internet such as Showtime, Epix and The movie channels EPix was free for a year as well others at a discounted pricing price includes DVR and HD box as well as 2 mini boxes but I do live in a fios area so Competition is hard up TWC butt. You have to Press them hard to get deals as the "price" is always negotiable TWC or any cable co Can't compete with Fiber optic even if they claim they can It's straight up False Advertisement. since fiber optic has significantly more bandwidth then coaxial will ever have |

Re: [Bill] Internet Blast, Price Hike $48 more in two years 2014 and 2015The premium I pay for Blast over Performance recently increased from $10 to $12 per month. As soon as the speed is doubled here I'm dropping Blast and will be paying less than I have in almost eight years. |

Time warner cable
at one point they claimed "fiber fast"
fiber = upto 1 petabit/s
coaxial cable = 5gigabit if the whole 1 GHz spectrum is used |

I imagine they get away with saying that due to the fiber in the HFC network. (dont know if TWCs networks are HFC but i imagine they are) |
