Easton Cable will increase residential high-speed Internet prices in August for the first time since launching service 13 years ago. The utility said hardware and software upgrades are driving the higher fees.
Effective with August bills, Residential Starter Service will increase to $30 per month from $25 and V10 (formerly Residential Full Service) will increase to $45 per month from $40. Packages including either of these services, including the Triple Play, will increase by $5.
In the past year, Easton Cable said in a release that it has doubled the maximum download speed of its V10 service. Since launching cable modem service in 1998, Easton Cable has increased maximum download speeds to 100 times the original levels.
Easton Cable Vice President of Operations Geoff Oxnam said even with the increase, Easton Cable offers the fastest Internet in town at prices lower than comparable service from other regional providers.
"Our goal is to deliver the performance our customers demand at competitive prices," Oxnam said. "The Easton Cable Velocity upgrades are essential to continue to meet that goal today and into the future."
