Comcast Rates going UP

[CubsWin]

I talked to one of my friends who has Comcast here in Chicago, and he said that he received a notification that the new rates go into effect here on Jan 1, 2022. RSN fee is up to $17.30 (up from $14.45, increase of $2.85) and the local channels is up to $19.75 (up from $16.20, increase of $3.55).

I just wish I could opt out of the locals on Comcast.

I just wish I could opt out of the locals on Comcast.

One of the main reasons I left their Video Service years ago, they had just started charging the Broadcast and RSN fees, I called them up and said since they are charging extra they should let me opt out, especially since I had a antenna and did not watch the RSN, they said nope.

Did my research, found out about Playstation Vue, the next day called them up and canceled, because of Comcast doing those sneaky charges, it started me on my Cord Cutting Journey.

I remember in the early 90s when my family moved into town and we finally got cable it was $30 a month for everything except premium channels. That broadcast channel fee plus the RSN fee is $30

i remeber when DTV was 29.99 for 150 channels with no taxes and fee's . i forgot how much ussb was just for the rest of the basic cable channels

Here in Chicago, Comcast raised the rates again. I look back at my December 2021 post where the RSN fee went up to $17.30 and local channels went up to $19.75.

Starting this week, the new RSN fee is $20.25 - even though there is no Chicago Sports Network (credits of $8.85 are still being applied). The local channels is going up to $29.10. In 3 years, the increase is almost $10.00 on just locals.

Makes Dish's $14.00 for locals nothing compared to Comcast.

Exactly. They don't have the new Chicago Sports Network.
