Suddenlink Communications to Raise Cable Rates in Alabama and Louisiana

Subscribers to Suddenlink cable TV services in Huntsville, Alabama are getting ready to face another cable rate increase this November. Limited basic service is slated to increase from $18.99 to $21.24. The increase has been blamed on higher costs of cable networks, fuel, equipment, insurance and more.

For Alexandria residents, Suddenlink Communications may be forced to raise rates mainly as a result of pass-thru charges such as pole usage charges and higher franchise fees dictated by the city. For instance, the customer's annual fee would increase from $1.78 to $13.92 per year due to higher pole usage charges. A final decision has not been made yet as to whether or not Suddenlink will have to raise its rates.

Comcast Raising Cable TV Rates November 1
