I dont know if anyones brought this up but this just in as reported by cnet:
AT&T plans to raise its monthly cable modem Internet-access fees by $6 per month effective June 1, CNET News.com has learned.
The long-distance and cable giant is expected to inform current broadband Net customers via email in May of the planned rate hike, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The expected rate hikes could affect more than 1 million of the nearly 1.3 million consumers who subscribe to the company's AT&T@Home and Road Runner services in various cities, the source said. Because the hikes have not yet been announced, it is possible that AT&T could change the amount and the timing of the increase, or back off entirely, if it meets with consumer resistance.
Dont you just love a monopoly.
