$90 Time Warner Cable Bill Becomes $190 After Two Years
No cable customer is immune from this phenomenon—even outspoken telecom analysts like Bruce Kushnick are in for bill shock. Kushnick, a frequent critic of Internet service providers, signed up for a Time Warner Cable “Triple Pay” package in 2012 and is now paying more than double the advertised rate.
“When I signed up, less than two years ago, it was advertised at $89.99 and today, less than two years later, the actual price is 110 percent more—now $190.77,” Kushnick wrote today in the Huffington Post.
For new customers signing up now, TWC’s Triple Play TV, Internet, and Phone package has an advertised rate of $109.99 per month for the first 12 months. Another $20 per month is added in the second year, but it’s hard to predict just how much it would cost two years from now. “After 24 months, regular rates in effect at that time apply,” the fine print says.
