RE: WaveDivision Holdings, LLC ("Wave Broadband"); Rate Adjustment Notice
We are providing the following details in compliance with the 30-day advanced notification of
an adjustment to rates under the applicable FCC regulations and the requirements of our
franchise with the City of Bremerton - Washington. Wave Broadband will be adjusting the retail
price of some of its services starting December 1, 2020.
The monthly rates for the following TV services will be adjusted: the Local Broadcast tier of
service will increase by $2.00. The costs associated with this tier help to maintain the access
and transport of cable and broadcast channels across our network. The Local TV Stations'
Fee will increase by $2.61. Local Broadcast stations levy a monthly fee for carriage of their
content; this fee helps offset those costs. The Expanded Content channel tier (also known as
Basic Cable), and any packages including that service, will increase by $3.09. Networks .
included on this tier of service levy a monthly fee for the carriage of their content; this fee
helps offset the cost of programming content. All TV equipment will increase by $1.99.
The monthly rates for the following Internet services will be adjusted: cable modems will
increase by $2.00. The Internet Infrastructure Fee will also increase by $1.20. This fee helps
defray costs associated with the building and maintaining of Wave's fiber rich broadband
network, as well as the costs of expanding network capacity to support the continued
increase in customers' average broadband consumption; this has been especially crucial
this past year as we all work, school, and play at home.
The rate changes are not a customer tax or a fee assessed by a government agency; they
are fees and/or costs Wave assesses and retains. They are exclusive of franchise fees,
regulatory fees, and other governmentally imposed charges. Customers will receive detailed
information covering the rate changes with their billing statement.
At Wave, we work hard to ensure the communities we serve have access to the fastest and
most reliable Internet, TV and phone services. Each and every day, we endeavor to deliver
high -quality services at a great value and aim to always put our customers first. We will
continue to invest in our network to bring customers the latest technologies while enhancing
their service experience.
We thank you, as always, for the opportunity to serve your community.
Sincerely,
Fred Lutz
