Comcast: Prices are heading up

The Chronicle's David Kaplan reports that Comcast is boosting its prices:

The cable bill for Houston-area Comcast customers will soon go up an average of 6.1 percent, the company announced Friday.

Exactly how much more customers will pay depends on the cable services received. Comcast's phone and high-speed Internet rates are not going up.

Starting in October, Comcast's standard cable bill will increase $3, from $44.99 to $47.99, the company said. Digital Classic, its most popular digital package, will jump $5 to $60.99 from $55.99.

Customers will be given information about their particular rate increases when they get their September bills.

A portion of the increase in the cost of digital service will be offset by the fact the digital converter box monthly rental fee is being dropped from $7 to $3.99, the company said.

How Comcastic!
