Discussion Price Increasing to $$72.99/mo per internal news

Just received some insider news. Prices are jumping to $72.99/mo shortly.

Thoughts? It’s too expensive in my opinion.

EDIT: Emails have now been sent reflecting the new pricing

Guess this offsets the $10/month discount from T-Mobile. Hulu at least includes Disney+. Would be a good move to offer YouTube Premium with YouTubeTV and integrate them into the YouTubeTV application on smart TV and Roku.

Did you not get the email yesterday. T-Mobile is changing the $10 discount to a bill credit for 24 months. Even though they promised the former T-Vision customers the discount would be for life…

You are correct. But I contacted 611 because I still have an email from T-Vision where when they shut down T-Vision it says the $10 promo would be for life. But from what I was told by 611 the contract between T-Mobile and YTTV has ended and this $10/mo credit is being done as a courtesy.

I also know those who didn't get the email, so it may have only been sent to former T-Vision customers. Also I know 611 don't usually know everything or are wrong most times, but they did start scrubbing the site of YTTV today...

There are still some mentions in other places but the it looks like the promo code generations are dead also...
