Bill Increased by $21

@Again​ Man, you sound like you should or used to work for Comcast. 

There is no reason [Edited: "Inflammatory"] Comcast/Xfinity can't offer a "forever" price for ANY service(s) they offer, [Edited: "Inflammatory"].  There is also NO GOOD REASON that internet access should be limited to those who can "just keep paying for it", [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

As far as my billing statements, I am on the 'autopay' system, so I do not receive a paper bill.  Therefore, I am not in the habit of looking at my current statement(s) online unless I need to.

When I attempt to view my last $88.95 statement online, I am unable to.  All the website does is "sit and spin."  So when I saw that my bill has 'magically' increased by $21 for no reason, I tend to get a tad concerned.  

Get my drift yet?

Thanks, but no, I've never worked for Comcast, only participating here for 18 years wanting to help other customers.

Comcast isn't able to offer a price for life [don't we all wish!] because technology changes and implementing that technology can be expensive.  The only way an ISP can implement those changes is to pass along the costs that it incurs to the customers, otherwise, the ISP would be out of business rather quickly.  Some ISPs that have have a "price for life" eventually are either bought out or go bankrupt; those are usually smaller ISPs.  Of course, there are other factors, too, when it comes to cable, and those are a very long list that trickle all the way down to actors and actresses.  Netflix has raised its rates a lot over the last 10 years while including their own content and everyone involved in those endeavors need to be paid. 

It's not like Comcast enjoys raising rates, believe it or not, but to keep up with technology and offer the best experience possible they just have to.  And it's not just Comcast.  Spectrum and Cox do the same thing.

We all need to eat.  We all need to make choices.  Some are never easy.  I'm there with you, btw, except I'm dealing with $190+ and I don't want to downgrade until after the Olympics!

@XfinityThomasA​ Thanks for your reply, however, how was I to know that the rate would increase in the first place?  Your website is kind of 'cryptic', meaning that it's difficult to understand the "fine print" your 'corporation' seems to love to use.  I just wish that your monopoly (INFLAMMATORY for sure, LOL) would stop playing the "semantics" game and simply post a price...straightforward, like a grocery store or Walmart.  The bad part is that none of us old people and all those blue collar workers can continue to pay $100 or whatever 'price du juor' the 'corporation' deems it to be for internet access.  Utterly ridiculous, I say.
