FLOW to hike prices for some phone and Internet packages

Telecommunications company, FLOW, says it will increase the prices for some of its Internet and phone packages as of September 1.

In a newspaper advertisement today, the company said the price adjustment will impact its 'Browse & Talk' service.

It did not say why the rates were being increased.

The Browse & Talk Ignite and Browse & Talk Super services face the largest increase.

Meanwhile, customers who subscribe to the Browse & Talk Super will pay 12 per cent more for the service.

The new price for that package will be $4,550, up from $4,050.
