As previously reported, Starz and Showtime are already offered as optional add-on packages.
“Customers taking the Gigabit + package can add on 17 Starz channels for an additional $10 per month,” notes the post. “They can also add on 11 Showtime channels for an additional $10 per month. Popular Hispanic channels will also be available for an additional $5 per month, including Univision Telenovelas, Bandamax, and Telehit.”
