More Cable Rate Increases for 2009

Here are more cable rate increases coming up for the following areas. Most of these rates are set to go up in March.

Orlando, Florida - Brighthouse plans to raise rates by 4.7% in March because of rising programming costs. Rates for standard cable will go from $52.99 to $55.49 a month. Digital cable subscribers will see an even larger increase, with their rates rising by 5.8%, from $59.99 to $63.49.

New York - Time Warner is raising monthly cable rates beginning in March. Basic cable subscribers will not see an increase. However, standard cable will go up about $4 a month and digital cable will increase $1. DVR costs will also increase by $1. Subscribers to "All the Best” package, which includes cable, roadrunner and digital phone, will see their bills go up $7 a month from $128.50 to $135.50 (before tax). The rate hikes are blamed on higher costs paid out to carry the channels, as well as recent channel additions, including more HD options.

Troy, Alabama - This month, Troy cable raised rates $3 a month for basic cable. The increases are said to be due to the digital switch and higher programming costs.
