Comcast and AT&T will raise prices for some customers starting Feb. 1, a move that will cost some subscribers as much as $15 per month more on their bills.

The companies say the new prices mainly are driven by content costs as TV networks jack up the fees they charge cable providers for popular TV shows and programming.

Comcast will raise fees for the first time since fall 2008, and AT&T will raise rates nearly across the board for the third year running.

EPB has no plans to raise TV, Internet or phone rates this year and can’t do so without board approval.

“The cost of doing business changes over time,” said AT&T spokeswoman Cathy Lewandowski. “We are making some modest price adjustments that reflect those increased costs.”
