2024 Price Increases

Our December bill had a lovely Merry Christmas Happy New Year message on it:   Price increases.  Our Xfinity Package will increase $6.  Then the Regional Sports Fee will increase $4.80, and the Broadcast TV Fee $7.15.  Add on Fees and Taxes and this is probably about a $30 increase per month.  Ridiculous.  We're "Diamond" customers.  We were very unhappy with the price we were already paying.  If you want to keep us, do something about the horrible prices we pay for a bunch of stuff we don't want.  Comcast said our price would not increase after switching to X1.  Yeah, right.  We also received an email that our modem in EOL.  So, if we get the new modem, will that price go up too?

So many people are cancelling TV, but the local stations and other networks want the same amount of money, or even more. That means fewer people left to pay, meaning big price increases.

@Andyross​ increase is the result of Greedy rich people. If costs do go up, companies will adjust prices and in turn their profit level. The costs are what pay for while their profits are the same or higher than their profits of the prior year. Unfortunately they do not take into account that many people will not even get a cost of living increase for the year (and a few prior years). We are stuck with those increases. 

Another item stuck in my craw, you get a $5 discount for auto pay. It was by any method, credit card or bank draft. This year it is by bank draft only. Many businesses are now charging for Credit Card transactions. This kind of defeats the purpose of credit cards for me. I use one credit card for everything and get cash back for keeping balance paid.  Does it really cost $5 per credit Card transaction? They still have to make a transaction per payment, and that is A COST OF DOING BUSINESS.

My family and I are furious that our bill is estimated to be increasing by $17 a month. The biggest issue I have is their [Edited: "Language"] excuse for the increase, [Edited: "Inflammatory"] customers who already struggling to make ends meet with this. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. Thankfully my family and I are looking for alternatives and have fond at least one in our area and will be encouraging all of our friends and family in the area to switch services.

I spent almost 5 hours communicating the crazy size of my internet only bill. There job is not to give you a fair price, if it was you would already be paying it. Their job is to up sell you. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. Be wise, you may think you are trying to get help, [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. We give them 100% loss of our money, they start to care. They need to learn that they take an honest payment or they take nothing, which is more. They could charge half or less of what they Bill, [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. [Edited: "Inflammatory"/"Language"], we pay to use that too, now paying 5 bucks more a month on that, as well.

OH, the old nonsense of everyone is doing it.
[Edited: "Solicitation"]

A new Customer gets better deals than a current/loyal customer. Pretty soon that will catch up with Comcast. I’ve seen it happen.

If you look at the previous comments, the real greed is the broadcast and cable networks demanding more money from fewer viewers. Internet is the only service that Comcast has near total control of it's costs. Even the streaming live TV services like YouTube TV and Fubo have been forced to raise prices to pay for broadcast and sports.

Hey @user_hriytc, thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support on our forums. For internet only plans, if you price increased either your promotional rate has ended or you didn't have a promotion. I can certainly check for options to keep the bill down if you can send us a direct message. XfinityEmilyB posted those in her response above to kmehlbaum.

Comcast said in December the Xfinity  increases would be about $6. This was a complete lie, even the news services like Reuters and AP reported this lie without question.

 My Xfinity notice on December 15 told me my 2024 rate increase for internet-only Xfinity service would be going up by $16 to $82/month. That's a ~24% increase.

No <Edited: "Language"> way that can be justified. 

I cancelled them effective on my 15 January service period end date, and will have Century Link's 80 Mps ADSL service for $55/month starting on 10 January.

Why did you lie so badly Comcast?  Are your marketing people so out of touch with what is going on in management ranks?

@user_d819b0 I am sorry to hear of the increase. Do you know if your promotional rate is also falling of the account at that time? It could be a combo of the rate increases and your discounts changing. I would be happy to take a look to confirm. If the promotional rate is also falling off I would be happy to review the account for a new promotion. 

 

Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!

My bill also increase from $49 to $63 starting 01/2024.  Why it has increase that much? It is not on promotion price.  Trying to connect with Xfinity Assistant and waited for almost an hour still no one answers yet.  I have been with them for over a decade and now is a good time to cancel it.

I chatted to them 3 different people and all have different answers.  One office me with a new package which the price is higher bc of the higher speed.  I told him that I don't need higher speed and 2 other said they can't do anything about to lower my bill.  The only option I have to enroll auto pay

Comcast raised my January 2024 Xfinity internet only bill from $66/month to $82, a 24% increase. I cancelled them and have 80 Mbps ADSL service with Century Link for $55/month starting 10 January. Other options I examined are T-Mobile's 5G home internet hotspot service for $50/month. That's a viable option if Century Link starts raising their prices too much.

Please check your previous FULL bill to see if you were getting discounts from a promo that may have ended.

They (xfinity) offer much better prices to new clients. In order to explain my 27% price increase, they (xfinity) claimed that I was on a contract which had (or had not) expired. When we cleared it (misunderstanding?)  up, the story was changed. Now it is just a price increase due to ... who knows what. A new customer pays $60 for speeds up to 400 Mbps (no contract) and $70 for 800 Mbps (no contract). I am offered to pay $79 (no contract) for 200 Mbps (the speeds I will never get anyway). With a contract I can get a price of $55 which is $5 less than the price of 400 no-contract plan. So, if you have been with the company for a long time (10+ years), now it is a perfect opportunity to see how much Xfinity appreciates its loyal customers. 

I completely forgot to mention an amazing offer of providing your bank account info for $10 discount. Those who are still unaware of a recent data breach (the last four digits of SSN exposed along with names, dates of birth, and etc.), this is a perfect opportunity to give access to your checking (or better savings) accounts to some very knowledgeable and skillful strangers. Happy new year everyone!

I am sorry for misinformation. The price of $79 is for the speed up to 100 Mbps not 200 Mbps as I previously stated (let's add insult to injury).

First i get an email from xfinity " Good news! Effective January 1, 2024, your enrollment in automatic payments and paperless billing provides you with a monthly discount. If you are enrolled in automatic payments with a stored bank account, you will receive a $10 discount per month. If you are enrolled in automatic payments with a credit or debit card, you will receive a $5 discount per month. No action is needed to receive these discounts. "   But never received discount.   then i go on the chat bot and it tells me "Effective with your next billing statement on or after January 1, 2024, we estimate the monthly price of your services will increase by $8.00."  <Edited: "Language">  if my bill going up $8 bucks i will have to close the account.  i was expecting a $5 discount no way im paying more.

Hello @user_fqb219. Thanks for reaching our team regarding your billing concerns. We're happy to hear that you're taking advantage of the autopay and ecobill discount. Regarding the billing increase, it sounds like it might be a rate adjustment.

While we try to hold down costs, price changes are necessary for a number of reasons, including the continually increasing costs of programming and our ongoing investments in network upgrades, cutting edge technologies, and enhanced products and services. We would certainly hate to lose you as a customer and can definitely take a closer look and see what is causing that increase. When ready, feel free to send us a DM with your full name and address.

Do you have automatic payment set up? Also, it does not apply to some older grandfathered plans.

3 Messages

automatic payment was setup from the beginning.  started getting the Good News you are eligible for a monthly discount emails dec 6 23, The fact it said in email Effective January 1, 2024 i really thought i was eligible for a discount.  Effective January 1, 2024 to me it should have been in the jan-5 bill.  Going to xfinity website to find info is a chore in itself. looks like the fired the web designer in the middle of working on the site. it's just a horrible site and slow as molasses in the arctic. trying to get info from that chat bot thing, man... i would have a better chance trying to poke a cat out from under a porch with a wet rope. then i come here and official xfinity employee doesn't know about email only "it sounds like it might be a rate adjustment." how about rate hike. and goes on about edge technologies, increasing costs of programming. well, we know that didn't go to the web designer. to me it sounds like to many hands on the helm. increasing the costs to customer to the point they can't afford it. great job xfinity !

Same thoughts here.  Been a customers for 17 years and just keep getting repeated rate increases.  Now up $10 per month to $82.  The customer service agent I tried to chat with just said they can't help me and offered and 800 number to call.  How is there not a cheaper option for less speed?  Never mind the fact rarely do I get the speeds advertised and my service constantly gets throttled during peak times.  I currently have another search window open to see what services are offered in my area.  If I find something viable I don't plan to waste time even trying to negotiation with Xfinity this time....Look at that.  In barely the time it took to type this I found Tmobile 5G Home Internet for $50 per month, nearly the same speeds, and no additional fees or contract.

If they do raise the price again i will go ahead and try this Tmobile 5G Home Internet.  I could barely afford my xfinity from the last time they raised it.  all i need and use is internet and it not that important even at $50 bucks a month to me is a rip off.  this service shouldn't be no more than $25 a month.   years ago, i was paying $8 a month for dialup and that worked just fine. these dam companies think people have money coming out of there <Edited: "Language">.   and all you get from these official employees to go on some chat to check available offers.  there is nothing from them and i shouldn't have to do this!

I went to the store earlier and the customer service told me that auto pay is not an option because I am in the lowest rate in the plan.  There are 2 options I have: 1.  update the plan means I have to pay more, then I will be eligible for the $10 off (auto pay).  2.  apply a low income plan.  It is unbelievable that send their customer away

Just to post an update to my previous message. I did receive a DM response to my message about 20 minutes after I sent the message and was no longer signed on. That being said, I got my T-mobile 5g Home Internet router today and hooked it up and I’m getting 3x the download speed (350 mbps) and 4x (40 mbps) the upload speed I was getting with xfinity for $50 per month with a price locked in forever if I don’t move. Again I’ve had xfinity almost 17 years and thankfully they raised prices enough that I looked for a competitor and assuming these speeds hold up for the next 7 days or so I’ll be calling to cancel. Again, thank you for raising prices to a level which made me shop around and find better service at a lower price.   I’ll save approximately $350 just this year alone
