AT&T , which recently acquired Time Warner in a landmark merger, is hiking up the prices for some DirecTV customers, even after telling a federal judge earlier this year that the merger could lower prices for its customers .

The companys streaming service DirecTV Now, which it owned before the merger, will now cost new and existing customers $5 more per month, bringing the services cheapest package up to $40 per month and the most expensive package to $75.

AT&T explained the increase in a statement provided to Cord Cutter News , which first reported it: To continue delivering the best possible streaming experience for both new and existing customers, were bringing the cost of this service in line with the market which starts at a $40 price point.

Other online streaming services have recently increased their prices, including Dish Networks Sling TV (which is hiking its Sling Orange package by $5 to $25 per month) and YouTube TV (which is also increasing by $5 to $40 per month in March), according to the Washington Post .

AT&Ts DirecTV Now price increase begins on July 26 for new customers and, according to USA Today , its not the companys only price hike.

AT&T also increased its monthly administrative fee twice in the most recent quarter, hiking up the fee 76 cents to a total of $1.99 per month for cellphone bills, USA Today reported.

The telecom company also updated two of its unlimited mobile plans last week, tacking on $5 to its cheapest plan (for a total of $70) while dropping a subscription to HBO which it previously offered for free, according to Ars Technica .

The Justice Department attempted to block AT&Ts purchase of Time Warner in federal court, arguing in an antitrust case that the merger would create a media monopoly and lead to higher prices for both AT&T customers and other cable providers that serve Time Warner content.

Three weeks ago, Judge Richard Leon sided with AT&T, allowing the telecom giant to move forward with its $85.4 billion deal to acquire Time Warner.

The acquisition gives AT&T ownership of HBO, Warner Bros. film and television studios, DC Entertainment, Cartoon Network, TBS, CNN and the cable network giant Turner Broadcasting. Verizon, a competitor of AT&Ts, owns HuffPosts parent company, Oath.

In 2016, Reuters noted that the merger would be the first deal that combines a major U.S. media company with a wireless network, satellite TV distributor, and high-speed Internet service provider.

CORRECTION: Dish Networks Sling TV Orange package and YouTube TV raised its prices by $5, not from $5, as was mentioned in a previous version of this article.
