Understanding Your Upcoming Rate Change

Beginning with your February 2026 bill, LFT Fiber will implement adjustments to our TV package rates and Broadcast Surcharge Fee.

Over the past several years, we’ve held rates steady despite continual increases in programming and network costs, working hard to absorb as much of those expenses as possible. However, ongoing increases from broadcast networks and content providers have now reached a point where an adjustment is necessary.

Like all providers, we continue to face annual increases in programming costs from networks and content owners. The largest of these are fees charged by local broadcast stations, which we pass directly through to customers as the Broadcast Surcharge Fee.
LFT Fiber does not profit from these costs.

To help offset these rising fees and minimize the impact on you to the best of our ability, we’ve made adjustments across several of our core TV tiers.

What’s Changing

The chart below is intended as a quick reference to show how the rate change could impact you. Please see your specific bill and package details to understand how it will fully apply to your account.

Summary of Adjustments:

  • Broadcast Surcharge Fee increasing to $38.00
  • Basic Tier: $7.95 decrease
  • Digital Access Tier: $3.00 decrease
  • Digital Plus Tier: $9.95 decrease
  • Expanded Basic Tier: $1.05 increase

Most customers will see an overall change between $13 and $25 per month, depending on their package.

Common Support Questions

These fees are set by local broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, etc.) and continue to rise each year. We pass them directly through to customers at cost.

No. LFT Fiber does not profit from any part of the Broadcast Surcharge Fee.

In addition to local broadcast fees, all TV providers experience annual increases in programming costs. We’ve adjusted tier rates to help offset those costs and limit the total impact to you.
