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 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.

I understand there may be 1 or 2 options that will be better, but I already scoped out all the packages and no way I will be getting a better rate for what I have. Besides, these new rates have the old 2.99 mth already in the new prices. In fact, I just found out that I am ''overpaying'' for basic cable as the new price is $25/mth and I'm paying 23.99 + 2.99 for digital access fee. When I demanded the satisfaction dept to cancel these 2 monthly 2.99 charges, they said they can switch my basic charge to the new price, that's all and he also said that old 2.99 is already in the new rate of $25/mth. How nice of them to not even tell me I am overpaying for something that is basically useless and manditory. I am so furious with this company right now, I had to file another complaint, this time a complaint about the cust satisfaction dept for being so rigid and cold and throwing in my face that I am lucky to be paying old rates on another a la carte package. Unbelievable what they are doing.
