The sad part is that Time Warner gets away with this because most people won't even notice that they are being gouged for an extra $5.26 per month on their bill.
Over the holidays, the cable giant, now in the process of merging with its even larger rival Comcast, quietly jacked up its monthly modem-lease fee to $8 from $5.99. That's an increase of nearly 34%. And as if that wasn't a big-enough kick in the pants for customers, Time Warner also has added a $2.75 monthly charge for sports channels — regardless of whether you watch them — and boosted its monthly charge for local channels to $2.75 from $2.25.
