TV RATE INCREASE
Has anyone filed any complaints about this outrageous $6/mth (17% in my case) increase ? jesus, where do they get the nerve after an already 14% increase on useless mandatory basic service less than ...

Hi mjcnyg and distox,
it's never pleasant to receive a rate adjustment notification, we understand that. However, this increase is necessary in order to continue offering quality services to our customers while remaining an attractive and competitive option. Several factors influence these adjustements, royalties paid to channel providers, cost of labor and rising equipment costs are just a few examples.
We will contact you in private to discuss it.
Have a nice day.

I feel you! I hate having to pay for channels I will never watch. I have 1.5 years left on a 2 year contract. You think they are going to remember that? Most likely they will pass on the increase on my next bill anyway and I will have to phone them and get them to remove it. I wonder how many people don't bother to call and just accept the increase?

Vicky, I get that you are doing your job and I have heard that tired song many times before. However, it does nothing to change the fact that customers are being hosed once again for a second year in a row to the total of $9/mth for TV. I just got off the phone with someone in response to my complaint and all he could do is explain the increase and did a nice job of blaming Crave TV for the increase. Where do we live, in Trump world ? blame everybody else. Seriously, you don't think a $6 increase isn't extreme ? it's not acceptable and if you are going to enforce this increase, then get rid of those 2 X $2.99 charges I get every month for Digital access (my derriere !) and HD network access (my derrier X 2 !) off my bill. I think I have paid this for enough time now (many years) and I know you don't charge this to new clients. This will wipe out the increase until the next one comes along.

if you switch to one of the newest TV plans, you won't get these HD and Ditital access charges (yes even for existing customers!).
for my basic tv + 10 channels, I paid less with the new plans compared to my old plans.
So sometimes, it's completely worth it to switch.
