U-verse 2013 Pricing Changes
This was filed today with the state of Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority
Beginning with bills received on January 27, 2013, the monthly price of some U-verse TV packages are increasing. These price adjustments reflect increased business costs, including costs associated with higher programming fees.
The monthly price for the following U-verse TV service plans will increase $2: U-family to $59; U200 to $74; U200 Latino to $84; U300 to $89; U300 Latino to $99; U450 to $121; and U450 Latino to $131. (Grandfathered plans also will increase $2: U100 to $61 or $66, depending on when first ordered; and U400 to $116.). Beginning on February 1, 2013 there will be a separate Broadcast TV Surcharge of $1.99 per month to recover a portion of the amount local broadcasters charge AT&T to carry their channels.
Those customers who currently have a U-verse TV pricing promotion will continue to receive the promotional benefit until the applicable promotion ends or expires. Customers are being notified of these changes via bill messaging occurring in November and December. In addition, customers will be notified of these changes online at www.att.net/uversepricechange. Customers seeking information about U-verse services may visit www.att.net/uverseonline.

If you are receiving new customer promotional pricing, the rate increases do not go into effect until the end of the promotional pricing period. There is no bait and switch. Are you saying that you have actually received a bill with the increased rates?

Everyone has fees, it's just how they hide them in the wording. Still $4 is better than other providers and their quarterly 10% increases.

More fees that AT&T collects, keeps and then decides what they want to do with........ Yeah, I understand that AT&T isn't alone in that regard but I dropped a T-Mobile line because of a $3.50 fee that they told me "that we collect and retain just to keep with all of the legal stuff...."

I just looked at my new bill from ATT and it describes the new rate increases. I was disappointed to see that they are now going to charge $1.99 a month to watch local broadcast channels. It never ends with the way companies can dream up new charges to nickel and dime you to death.

Unfortunately, it's the same everywhere. They just (cleverly?) find a way to get more money out of us. They just don't call it a "rate increase" or a "price increase".
It's not unlike the banks creating all the charges. You have to have $7,000 in your account or you have to use your CC xxx times to AVOID the monthly $14.95 service fee.

To get less channels through Comcast even with a six month promo price, a DVR, two receivers, it would cost me more than a no promo price with ATT for 450 channels. So yes Gracie there is a Santa Clause.
