The short answer
This transaction is the monthly subscription fee for home internet, cable TV, or landline phone services from Astound Broadband.
Why is Astound Broadband charging my card?
The billing descriptor ASTOUND*BROADBAND appears when you are charged by Astound Broadband (formerly known as RCN, Grande, Wave, or enTouch). This deduction is for your monthly home network, cable television, or home phone package.
Beyond the standard subscription rate, this charge could encompass regional sports network fees, broadcast TV surcharges, or modem leasing costs. Astound frequently uses promotional pricing for the first 12 to 24 months, so a sudden increase in this monthly charge usually means your promotional period has expired.
