Cox Cable Hampton Roads Inc. said that starting April 1 it will increase rates by 87 cents a month for customers of its ``complete basic'' service. The new monthly rates, excluding franchisee fees, utility taxes, and charges for converters and other special services, will be $22.33 in Norfolk, $22.59 in Portsmouth, $23.07 in Virginia Beach and $23.16 in Knotts Island, N.C. Federal regulators recently allowed cable operators to raise rates as long as they add channels to their complete basic lineups. Cox, the largest operator in Hampton Roads, has added four new channels since Feb. 1. (Staff) by CNB
