protest over new price increase starting january 2021

It is disgusting.  This is the second time in less than a year Comcast has raised all of our "fees" in addition to the package.

It is like they have no idea their is a pandemic, people are unemployed and struggling.  All they care about is nickel and diming their customers to boost earnings.

I cannot wait for my 6 month contract to end, I will be leaving Comcast (Unfortunatley not many internet alternatives in my area) but rather slower internet and ethical service.

Pardon me for the very belated reply. The latest ongoing issue has reared its ugly head. Our next upcoming bill amount will be 126.80. Of course the only way to counterattack this would be to downgrade current service. We have downgraded too many times, not enough room for anymore. Maybe if can scratch off the regional sports fee and some other fee. Iam comfortable at 119.

The only way to get rid of the regional sports fee and the broadcast fee is to get rid of cable all together.  As long as you have a plan above very basic you're going to have the regional sports network fee and even if you don't watch sports there is no way to get rid of that.

I just paid my bill.  It increased by more than $26 and they are telling me it's for excise taxes driven by the government although they won't referenc which tax bill or policy this is being driven by.  So to be clear I was paying $5.55 in state excise fees but now I am apparently paying about $32 in those same fees.  A quadruple increase for just that fee.  

So, we lose Norton Internet Security, and the same month Xfinity gets a Covid refund on the Reginal Sports fee, you increase the Regional Sports fee to your costomers?

And my internet went up $5, even though I'm in a 24month contract, and you increased the set top box fees for no reason other than greed, because I have the same 3 boxes I have been paying $5 ea for, and now I'm paying $7.50 each.  So, my set top boxes have gone from $15 a month, to $22.50!

My cost per month has gone up, even though when I agreed to a two year contract. In the chat where I spoke to Xfinity and agreed to a 24month contract, I  was told that my bill would be $191.33 a month, for 2 years.  Of course that never happened, somehow that figure was only for chat, as when my actual bill arrived it was $11.59 more than I was quoted, at $202.92.  Now it's going up yet again to $218.61.  Someone lied to me.  I even saved the chat log when I negotiated the price....of course I was told my bill would be $191.33 in the chat, but somehow (like always) you guys figured a way to inch it up to $202.92 instead of the $191.33 that I was promised in the chat...but I got tired of dealing with you and decided I could live with the $202.92 even though it was $11.59 more than I was promised.  And now, with your latest price increases, I'm paying $27.28 more than I agreed to in the chat.  You always figure a way to add a little more.  That's why I save my chat logs, because Comcast/Xfinity can't be trusted to keep their word.  Get it in writting and still they bait and switch you, and what is a consumer to do about it?  Comcast has a monopoly.  

IF you can disregard the 24month contract and increase prices, then am I able to disregard the contract too, and renegotiate my service?  It appears the contract does me no good, when it allows you to make changes whenever you feel like it.  Let me guess....I'm bound by the contract, but Xfinity is not.  It's really disappointing to agree to a 24 month contract at $191.33 and exactly one year into a two year contract, I've gone from $191.33 to $218.61 (an increase of $27.28).  And I lost Norton Internet Security in the process.
