Price increases

Xfinity is turning into a bully that knows they are a monopoly in our area. I have been with Xfinity over 20 years. I have four services with them and my bill is now going up almost 25% for no reason whatsoever. I am completely dissatisfied and believe that you are using monopoly practices to take advantage of the consumers that don’t have an alternate choice. I believe that the SEC or government should look into your business and your monopoly practices. Completely dissatisfied even after 20 years. Xfinity is not a good company

@user_808hehI understand it’s frustrating when you see changes on your bill. The price increase contributes to ongoing network improvements as we expand the Xfinity 10G Network to provide you with faster upload speeds and a more reliable connection with lower latency. Xfinity is committed to providing you with the best possible service experience. I would be happy to review your account with you and look for new promotions in your area. To get started, please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address.

I spent five hours on the phone yesterday being disconnected and trying to work out getting discounts or trying to figure out ways to save money. Again I’ve been with you guys for 20 years. I own two businesses, and I cannot just keep increasing prices on people. I am currently looking at other options, and most likely will be leaving Xfinity as you see many other people feel the same way. A 25% price increase for no reason is unjustified and unless you guys can do it for what I used to pay I am pretty much done with Xfinity. I’m tired of Not feeling like a valued customer and you see this over and over again on this string. We are in a day and age where companies are just increasing prices to increase their profits and that is the case here as well. Let me know the best you can do for me and what promotions you have going on that I can take advantage of that you know of because the operators I spoke to yesterday said that I have the best pricing possible. Again, this is ridiculous. I have four services with you  And I will be terminating them one by one shortly   
and if I could be very clear, I had no intention of canceling anything but now you have prompted me to look closer at my bill and realize how much I’m being overcharged on each service.

I am experiencing the same with Xfinity and it appears I have no other options where I live (except for Verizon 100 mbps). AT&T no longer services my area. ounds like they are all in cahoots.

@user_e01ksr From my experience it can either be that your account has fallen off your promotional rate or it is due to price increases that you would find mentioned on your November or December billing statement. You can always get a break down of charges by looking at your billing statement. For the Xfinity app after signing in you would go to manage billing. After that click on current statement so that you can view the PDF. To view previous statements you would select statement history. If you don't already have the My Account app make sure you download it. It is honestly one of the best apps we have to offer to manage your account. The app will keep you updated on maintenance, interruptions, and other service-related notices. You can also troubleshoot, manage appointments, and manage your bill. 

 

If due to increases in our rates, while we try to hold down costs, price changes are necessary for a number of reasons, including continually increasing costs of programming and our ongoing investments in network upgrades, cutting edge technologies, and enhanced products and services. If you signed up on a promotional offer, you will not see an increase to the base price of those services until your promotional period has ended. Equipment charges, installation charges, taxes and fees, including regulatory recovery fees, the Broadcast TV Fee, the Regional Sports Network Fee, and other applicable charges are subject to change and could alter the total amount you pay during and after the promotional period. https://www.xfinity.com/pricechange

 

I am here to confirm what is going on. I would be happy to review the account for a new discount. Here is a link: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/offers with our current promotions if you wanted to take a look. Just make sure you are logged on to your account to see the promotions available for your account.  You can also set up the services directly from the website. I also want to let you know there is a government benefit program called Affordable Connectivity Program that could save you up to $30 a month on internet costs. Please visit the link: www.xfinity.com/ACP to check out the process to qualify.

 

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!

I have been so frustrated with Xfinity and it's been over multiple years.   We have so few choices for carriers in the western suburbs of Chicago.   It's not right...everyone says it's because of the lobbyists etc.   When you call in.....the automated system doesn't give you a full range of choices and I've been stuck in the loop several times and screamed into the phone...figured it was time to give up.   When I've tried to negotiate my price down...they won't stop offering me mobile service which i don't want.   Why can't this company commit to transparency in billing.   Quit screwing over the customers who have been with you the longest.  When we have the choice to leave which one day we will.......there's not many of us that will stay around.  You keep saying you're committed to improved customer service, etc......we all hope and you fall flat over and over agin.

I completely agree!!! I'm in the same situation and my interactions with Comcast in trying to negotiate have been horribly irritating to say the least. I said multiple times that we are low income disabled and that I was confused and needed help... no go!

Totally disgusted in their greedy monopoly and am pushing for broadband to be a utility and equal access for all... not just those with high income. We are falling behind Europe, Asia etc. Arg!
