I just got my first Cox bill of 2017 and they decided to tack on an extra $6 to my bill for a Regional Sports Surcharge. Are you kidding me? I'm not from this area, and could not care less about regional sports. Thanks for letting me know, Cox. I love surprise charges.
I contacted them Here's their reasoning:
A Regional Sports Surcharge (RSS) is a separate line item in the TV section on customer's monthly bills who subscribe to Essential TV or higher, effective during the 2017 Price Adjustment. Sports Pak and Sports Pak 2 subscriptions do not impact the cost of the RSS. Any customer who only has TV Starter will not see the RSS on their bill.
