Comcast: Rising costs force rate increase Comcast, primary provider of cable TV service in the Twin Cities, is raising rates on most of its television offerings starting Jan. 1 -- though it said the increase is the smallest in 10 years. Standard cable is going up to $59.45 from $57.50, and most digital packages are going up as well, generally by about $2 per month. Comcast attributed the increases to rising programming costs and other costs.
