Significant increase to Internet bill in 2024

In February of 2024 my Internet only bill went from 76.00 a month to 95.00 a month.  This is a significant increase with no explanation.   I believe I'm on the lowest speed plan now.  It's impossible to get anyone to chat with on the AI chat.  How can I speak/chat with a real person about this?  If I can't get this resolved I will need to switch to TMobile or one of the other providers in my area.

Is anyone else having trouble sending a direct message? There is no"direct messaging" icon (upper right corner of this page) or "New message" (pencil and paper) icon. The only icon next to the bell is the user icon.

Hi,

Yes, my bill went up an extra >$30 without notice shortly after I already added on an extra $30 service for no data cap. I haven't been able to get through to any customer service reps through the chat bot. I am considering switching providers due to price hikes and lack of current reasonable promotions for longstanding customers.  Is the current price really the best Xfinity can do right now?

user_ons3th, I appreciate the details and context to get us on the same page. We certainly don't want to see you leave, so thank you for giving me a chance to turn things around. It could be that your last promotion rolled off at an anniversary date, but I won't be able to determine that until we find your account. Let's work together and see what options are avialble. In order to get started can you please send a direct message to Xfinity Support with your full name and full address by clicking the chat icon in the top right? The detailed steps to direct message us are listed below. If you're not able to view that DM icon, can you confirm if you're signed in?

• Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Direct Message” icon (upper right corner of this page)

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send your message

Hello,

I have the same issue as everyone else on this thread. My Xfinity bill just jumped from $39.99 to $69.99 which is a 75% increase.

I am signed into this forum but I do not see any Direct Message icon in the upper right (I am using Firefox).  I see a pastel green "U" icon with my profile, etc. and a bell but that is it.

I thought $39.99 was an acceptable charge for the asymmetric internet service I got. $69.99 is a ripoff.

Mine increased from 50 to 100. We aren't budgeted for that increase and had no warning of it. I would like to speak to someone who can assist in reworking my service to lower the cost of the bill.

You can select the plan and equipment that meets your needs and budget with a few clicks!

The notification is in your billing statement which you should look at every month.  Had you done that you would have seen the notice that your bill was going to increase.

Hello, my bill increased by $40 without notifying me effectively - I dug into the pdf statements and finally found the information on the LAST PAGE of the pdf statement from the month before the increase. If I can't lower my bill, I will be canceling xfinity. I tried to find the "direct message" icon that has been referenced in this forum post, but I can't find it anywhere. Can an xfinity support human please message me directly about this issue?

My internet bill just tripled. I called and the best that they could do would be a charge that was double what I was paying...plus I had to take a downgrade in speed. 

Now I can barely login to the Xfinity website.

My salary hasn't changed gone up in the last couple years. I am not one to jump providers...until now.

My bill has nearly doubled without any prior notification. I've been a loyal customer for years, but this is unacceptable. It's time to switch providers.

The notification was in your billing statement on page 4 either the month prior or the month prior to that.

Our service jumped from $65 to $104 per month! This is absolutely ridiculous. No warning, our paperwork never mentioned anything about a "promotion". This is nothing but a scam. We are absolutely going to be looking into a new provider based on this behavior.

Hello, @user_0zd6br, and thank you! We really appreciate you being a member of the Comcast Family! Our team would be happy to assist you in finding a new promotional rate for your services. We offer our everyday pricing as well, but they would be higher than the cost of our promotions. Your bill statement will include a message that lets you know the dollar amount of the promotional discount you’re getting, how long you’ll have that pricing, and when it will end. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message:

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon

2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)

4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

My bill was increased by 100% per month without any prior notice! This is outrageous. This is a scam and after being a loyal customer for years you thank me this way? New customers can get lower rates but existing customers don’t matter?. We will definitely be exploring other providers due to this behavior.

Hello, my monthly fee increased by $20 this month. I already experienced a fee increase last year when my promotion ended so I did not expect another fee increase this year. I am a student without income so I will have to switch to TMobile unless my fee can be reduced back to what I have budgeted for.

I just had a similar increase. My bill went from $60/mo (for "Connect More" speed) to $81/mo, with no explanation and no change in service. I have, however, noticed a substantial lag in internet speed over the past month, and I attribute that to my ISP, since I am very diligent about maintaining my laptop's security and performance.

This is just another sign of Comcast's attempt to squeeze more money out of its subscribers, for BASIC internet services.

I had a similar experiance.  We went with a no contract $50/month.  It now doubled to $101.51.  Everything seems the same but the way they charge changed and without a real notice.  A note at the end of the bill when we have texting, email, and messaging is a cop-out.  When I have an appointment with a doctor or exercise, they ping all of my contact method everytime and sometimes multiple times.  That is what customer service would look like if the customer was your first thought.  They have a monopoly and they act like it.  The municipality allows them to behave this way with out recourse.
