Did your prices already go up a month or two ago?

Haha, cox with their dirty price hikes again. So glad i just canceled cox after switching to centurylink.

good lord, thank goodness im on a contract!!!

leave it to cox to score a discount on porn

Are these guys nuts? An average of $7-9 increase for a triple play customer.

Cox missed an opportunity for a price increase?

Cable card increase? The things should be free, or cost very little to purchase outright.

Mine might be going back.

Those internet costs are also quite something.

Looks like haggling is going to be really fun this round. (/Sarcasm)

I wish I had an option for Internet. Being retired this is just getting out of hand. Cox also needs to stop paying the local stations so much, in fact I think that the local stations should be paying Cox for carrying their programming and advertising.

Wow, just wow. 3-4X inflation price increases year after year. 50% increase on cable cards, near 100% increase on OTA retransmission.

Telephone gone, video gone, looks like HSI will be too as even AT&T U-Verse is starting to look cheap.

I have been a Cox customer for north of 20 years and they are making it impossible to stay one.

Looks like more cutbacks. Poor Cable TV is going to get busted down to Economy.

Not that internet connections are immune to price hikes.... but boy, I am sure glad I went internet only years ago, and cut out television and voice.

They don't have to support Heff's expensive lifestyle any more.

You're just getting the price increases that everyone else has been getting over the last 2 months.
We got it in October here.

You are lucky, still paying less than us.. starter (5mbps) is 42.99 here, essential ( 15mbps) is 63.99

The October HSI increases were for those w/o TV, so that did not affect me.

My previous 2yr Price-Lock was expiring this month, so I negotiated another 2yr Price-Lock and got a $50 gift card and a $75 one time credit.

Price lock now if you want to avoid the increases for the next two years.

90 dollars/year to get local channels that are freely broadcast through the air.

that's insane

shoot in my area, they dont even carry all the substations, only about 4 or 5 (should be close to 15 or so), hooked up antenna in bedroom and i get that many with a cheap 5 buck antenna, good enough for me at night

Do we know what the price increase is for those who only have internet service?

Just wait and see how much Charter will go up.

Holy Cr@p that's pricey for internet. For nearly $65 you should be getting at least 50Mbps if not 100.

Spectrum starting to look really good. 100/10 for 54 dollars with tv or $65 without TV.

tell that to the local network station owners whowant cox to pay high cost to rebroadcast the signal

just dropped the record 6 went to 2. dropped internet to 100 MBPS. they are NOT getting extra $$$$ from me this year. Next step TV gone.

The coordinated price hikes got traction at Reddit(5000+ comments).

Link? Reddit is a vast and messy place, you know.

It was on the front page of Reddit for a long time.
