Well, the new prices went into effect in my most recent bill, and it amounts to a 30% increase in my cost for TV. I was getting Digital Economy ($35) with two additional (SD) DTAs included. In addition to the $5 increase in the base cost of DE (they removed the bundling benefit with HSI), they're charging $2 each for the DTAs, which used to be free, and now they've added the $1.50 Broadcast TV Fee.
This sucks. I'm getting no additional benefit from the 30% increase in cost to me. I made a conscious effort last year to eliminate all unnecessary costs on my Comcast bill, and I was successful in dropping quite a bit -- that's what led me to Digital Economy in the first place. I'm not willing to completely cut the cord, but I'm tempted.
