StarChoice announce "Bronze" rate increase

[Dede]

Hot off the press (thanks Pascal)!

Starting in March

English Bronze to $17.99 (was $15.99)
French Bronze to $11.99 (was $9.99)

[GOD]

It's for Bronze/Basic only sub's and won't affect current pricing for existing sub's with larger package's .

Who subscribes to just Bronze anyway ?
My local cable company chges $20 for 15 channels in comparision.

My local antenna charges me nothing for 17 channels and gives me better PQ than SC on most of them.

Just one of the reasons, the Yeti family became EX SC subs

If you look at the number of clients that were repointed to E2 and not upgraded to an e-dish, I'd say tens of thousands...

It's getting better and better.

Let's see what other surprises does *pay has in the hat for us... After all we are only 6 feb, march is 22 days away, there's still some room for more news.

[I_M_Norm_Al]

Somebody has to pay for the expensive consultants, higher churn rate, higher equipment subsidizes, greater cost for imported programming/hardware due to ever weaking dollar/ + missed budget due to lower new subs in fiscal year

[**DONOTDELETE**]

S.C. must of got wind that a lot people were going to reduce their packages to the bronze in protest of $4.99 charge on additional receivers. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Ack! That's a big increase!

SC is really pushing to be profitable aren't they?

This is just another cash grab and a another big stab in the shoulder.
