After existing customer promotion expires and monthly bill gets more than doubled - Sincerely need help

My 300 Mbps with promotional rate just expired and my monthly bill increases from $30.94 to $70.94.

I would hope to remain with Xfinity. Would an Xfinity representative please check and see what the least expensive Internet-only service option currently available to my account? Please include any lower-speed/lower-cost tiers that may not be prominently displayed on the website.

The inflation makes everything difficult to pay the bills. I would like to keep Internet-only service to make it through next school year in college.

Sincerely appreciate your help!

Greetings @user_paclrf,

I hope classes have gotten off to a good start for you! I know we're all trying to do our best to balance our budgets, especially while in school. We typically have the same promotions that are listed on the Xfinity plan change page. 300 Mbps is the slowest speed tier that we currently offer for our traditional post-paid internet service. With that being said, there is a prepaid service callexd NOW internet that offers a few other speed tiers at 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps. It is important to keep your needs in mind when selecting a speed tier and your preference for support. We do have many channels to provide support for the post-paid service, but primary support for the NOW internet service is held through NOW Portal. We can still perfreom an account review to see if there are any promotions available that match your needs, I jsut wanted to set the proper expectation. Please feel free to send our team a direct message with your full name and service address.

Hi Justin, thank you very much for your reply!

Once at the direct message page, the "Start new conversation" (pencil and paper) icon greyed out and couldn't create new message. Happens on two different computers with different web browsers. I couldn't figure out why.

user_paclrf with this being your first-post, I am thinking that we might need for you to log out and log back in for the direct message feature to activate. That feature does not activate until after your first post, and typically you have to log out and back in for that to appear.

@XfinityTommy​  Thank you for your reply.

Tried logging out then logging back in. I'm able to open up the direct message. But once there, still couldn't "Start new conversation" because the pencil and paper icon stays greyed out.

I hope you with other representatives could take a look of my account and see possible ways to lower my monthly bill. Yet not sure how to proceed without being able to send you direct message.

@XfinityChelseaB​ Thank you for the suggestion. Please help.

Tried on a third computer, as well as cleared cache and cookies in the browser and tried again. Still the same problem, the 'pencil and paper' icon greyed out, couldn't create new conversation in Direct Messaging.
