New bundle rates?

Did DirecTV raise the rates for their packages since September? The spreadsheet that Dane posted so helpfully in September seems to no longer be current. I just called Sonic.net sales and was told that a Fusion/DirecTV Choice bundle is now $90/month for the first month, a huge increase over the $50/month rate posted in Dane's spreadsheet. Anyone know?

DIRECTV changes their packages 3-4 times a year which affects discounts available from them. In addition to this, their base rates usually increase $3-$7 every Feb. and their DVR fee did go up $1 this year as well. This year's increases were effective 2/9/12 and a quick overlook of my notes does show DTV plus Sonic.net Fusion for $80 to $140 (depending on package) in the first year, for 2 room TV with HD DVR and whole home DVR service.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

I had a terrible experience with DirectTV, being lied to by the technician regarding my eligibility for an AAA bundle discount. I called the DirectTV office ahead of time to verify my discount. I told the tech not to install anything if we couldn't verify the discount. Every phone call ended in an assurance that I could get the discount.

My installation was not discounted. I had my service terminated immediately and wrote to DirectTV. Finally, I defaulted on the bill.

:arrow: I trust Sonic, but can never trust DirectTV again. They are real you-know-whats in my book.
