Lost 3 channels and rate increase
Yep. Nothing replaced WPVI (Philadelphia), WGAL (Lancaster), or WWOR )MYTV, yet they increased the cost. In my area, WPVI and WGAL were ageless...from the 70s when cable first came into the area. I watched WPVI every morning for the news and weather and WGAL every day when my husband worked down in that area.
Now those 3 stations are listed as SLTE5. [Edited: "Language"] is that? i waited to see what was going to be added instead of those 3 stations but nothing, but who cares says Xfinity. We're raising your rates anyway. This is NOT fair. I would be long gone if my husband could understand how to use streaming services. so I'm stuck. Yet the payment I have to make every month is almost HALF my Social Security check and I just can't afford it. So thanks Xinfity/Comcast. Bad enough I had trouble with the TV and internet for 2-3 years and you guys didn't believe me when I told you what was wrong. No, you spent weeks off and on trying to figure it out and now I'll be paying higher cost and probably late fees.
Oh, another thing: Supposed to be getting 200 mbps but never have. At the most, I have 56 upload and 24 download. Wow! Never got the new mbps when it was only 100 mbps either. Asked about it and ignored. Great customer service!

Hey @abbypatch, thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support on our forums. As the broadcast industry’s business environment and practices regarding the carriage of out-of-market broadcast stations continue to change, we have to assess and adjust our channel lineups to reflect these carriage changes. As such, some of the out of market channels have been changed.
WGAL channels 8/1008 have been replaced by WBRE 3; HD 808/1028. WPVI channels 6/1006 have been replaced by WNEP 2; HD 806/1016. WWOR channels 20/1009 have been replaced by WQMY 19; HD 813/1053. WPVI channels 6/1006 has been moved to 1197. We apologize if the changes have impacted what you were wanting to view.
With everything in the world starting to get more expensive, I certainly understand needing to keep the costs down. I'd love to help find some cheaper options for you as well as get your internet service fixed. Can you send us a direct message so I can help?
