President’s Day Price Increase: AT&T U-verse is Raising Your Rates

Phillip Dampier February 18, 2014 AT&T, Consumer News 2 Comments

United_States_one_dollar_bill,_obverseGeorge Washington always knew the value of a dollar, and so does AT&T. It wants more of yours going into their bank account.

The Teaser Before the Sting:

Thank you for choosing AT&T. Throughout the year we’ve worked hard to improve the U-verse experience. For example, you can now enjoy live TV channels on your computer, smartphone or tablet at no extra cost within the U-verse app or at Uverse.com. We’re looking forward to delivering even more value in 2014.

Here it comes:

The monthly price of some U-verse products are increasing and may impact the cost of your services. These changes reflect increased business costs, including costs associated with higher programming fees.

The monthly price for the following U-verse TV service plans will increase $3 beginning with bills received on January 26, 2014: U-family to $62; U200 to $77; U200 Latino to $87; U300 to $92; U300 Latino to $102; U450 to $124; and U450 Latino to $134. (Grandfathered plans also will increase $3: U100 to $64 or $69, depending on when first ordered; and U400 to $119.)

The monthly price of each non-DVR TV receiver will increase from $7 to $8 and the monthly price of the Wi-Fi enabled Residential Gateway will increase from either $2 to $4 or from $6 to $7, depending on when it was first ordered. If you have a package that includes an HD-ready DVR, that will continue to be included with your TV service.

Top secret.

The Broadcast TV Surcharge will be $2.99 per month beginning on February 1, 2014, in all markets except for Flint, MI, Indianapolis, IN, Huntsville, AL, Topeka, KS and Lansing, MI, where it will be $1.99. This charge is to recover a portion of the amount local broadcasters charge AT&T to carry their channels.

For customers with AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet service, the monthly price when not combined with any other qualifying AT&T service (AT&T U-verse IPTV service, AT&T U-verse Voice, combined/unified billed AT&T DIRECTV or AT&T wireless) will increase by $5.00 effective March 1, 2014, as described below. By bundling your internet services with other AT&T U-verse products this price increase will not affect you. AT&T wireless or AT&T DirecTV customers with AT&T U-verse Broadband can avoid this price increase by combining their services onto a single bill. To speak to an AT&T representative, please contact our Complete Customer Care Center at 1-800-288-2020.

The monthly price for Basic will become $33, High Speed Internet Express will become $41, High Speed Internet Pro will become $46, High Speed Internet Elite will become $51, High Speed Internet Max will become $56, High Speed Internet Max Plus will become $61, High Speed Internet Max Turbo will become $71, and High Speed Internet Power will become $81.

If you are on a current U-verse TV, U-verse Voice, and/or U-verse High Speed Internet pricing promotion, the promotional benefit will continue until the applicable promotion ends or expires. For questions regarding any of the U-verse services, visit att.com/uversesupport.

I wonder how long those rate increases will stick in Austin. Could be awhile unfortunately, since Google will take awhile to deploy fiber here.
