Companies don't have to pass along anything. They set prices to maximize profit, period. Those prices depend strongly on the competitive marketplace and only very slightly on the cost of ingredients.Stargazer said:Not everyone realizes the increased costs that the companies have and they have to pass those along to the consumer. At the same time the profits go up. This is a given but this helps offset inflation as well.

beantownslacker said:What about Top 60 Plus w/Locals - I was about to switch and get that package - will it stay at 34.99 or go up $2 to $36.99(keep the $5 price diff w/top 60) - I don't see it in the list below?
Got that, chad - I was asking about AT60 *Plus* I saw the rate without locals went up, but there was no mention of AT60 Plus w/Locals. I'm assuming its an extra $2 but I wasnt sure.chaddux said:AT60 with locals will be $31.99/month.

Thanks for the info.
aperry said:Hmmm... So, my local cable company (Cox) is not raising their rates even 1 penny this year. And Dish is going up by $3 a month. Who's the "pig" now Charlie?![]()
On the way home from work today I heard a promo that started off saying something to the effect of "Comcast has recently raised the rates of basic cable 8% blah blah blah Switch over to Dish Network where you can get AT60 plus your locals for 29.99." I then did some quick math in my head and figured out that Dish themselves are raising their rates by close to 7%. They truly are hypocrites.bjohn said:How shameful of Dish network to accuse Cable of price increases when Dish Network is the PIG itself?
MikeD-C05 said:That is because they didn't really read them. They gave you that address to vent about the price increase. They only sent you a response that says ; sorry the cost has gone up and here is why we are still the lowest cost provider and the leader ( HA HA HA HA HA) in Hd technology. I even replied to their email and said I don't even think ya'll read this sh*t we sent to you and I got the same reply back. They don't care they just want your $$$$$$$$$$.![]()
