It's official... Price Increase!

...Don't tell me there's nothing good on... You're just too picky...

Oh, thanks for that. At least there was the smilie.

There are two possibilities here: I am too picky OR there really isn't much good on. Of course, if watching bad language, the foolishness of the dregs of our society, and overt sex or sexual innuendo is your thing, there is plenty on to watch.

Is anyone surprised they went up? They do yearly. Everyone is annouceing a price increase. Just be glad BHNS increase is not as bad as the sat companies. Some Dish packages are up 10bucks a month.

Of course they are going up, programming costs continue to rise, electric costs continue to rise, we saw unprecedented gas prices that BHN ate, (no fuel surcharges for customers like some companies). etc.

gee, my directv package is increasing a whopping three dollars a month. that will put me in the poor house for sure......NOT!

I'm really happy for you that $1421 is "cheap" for you; BHN must pay very well (assuming "Insider" means you are a BHN employee). It is not "cheap" for me by any measure for something that is non-essential. It is more than one month's SS. I do have some other income, but not enough to call 1.4 thousand dollars cheap for TV watching/internet . Nope. For people whose entire life is TV, maybe. I feel sad for them though.

In my post I was comparing it to other forms of entertainment. and in relation to those it is cheap. Compared to takeing my family of 4 to the movies, its dirt cheap.. heck 30$ just to get in, and drinks? 15$ want popcorn make that 20. So 50$ for 2 hours of entertainment heck thats the cost of standard cable for an entire month!

Your paying about 118 a month so either you have the triple pack or you have digital + rr + a movie channel or two. Their are cheaper packages if the price is really affecting you that much.

1.4thousand sounds like a lot but its only about 3.90 a day. thats less then 30mins or so work for minimum wage in FLA..


Im not rich by any stretch of the word, but 118 a month to provide my family hours and hours of entertainment each month and for me to have high speed internet is well worth it and a bargain.

Thats about what BHN is going up for most people. 3$ is very reasonable.

I have digital + HD box (for the bigger hard drive--no HD package) + RR + turbo on a limited time special price deal, which BTW is NOT enumerated on the bill. There is no tiered TV package in it.

That sounds like a bit too much. Did you have them check your bill and what did they tell you?

I have called them, but not recently...they try to sell me the bundle with VOIP to reduce the cost.
