Unfair Billing Practice and Request for Immediate Service Correction

I am writing to express my outrage at the deceptive billing practices I have experienced with Xfinity. I have been consistently overcharged for my internet service, despite the availability of a lower-priced plan that meets my needs.

Specifically, I have been charged $91.00 per month for a 500Mbps plan, while your website clearly advertises the same 500Mbps plan for $55.00 per month. My attempts to rectify this through customer support have been met with dismissive and unhelpful responses.

I believe this constitutes a blatant disregard for consumer rights and a clear violation of ethical business practices. I request the following immediate actions:

Refund: Issue a full refund for the price difference I have overpaid since the lower-priced plan became available.

Upgrade: Immediately upgrade my service to the 1200Mbps plan at the advertised price of $85.00 per month.

Explanation: Provide a detailed explanation for why I was overcharged and what steps you are taking to prevent this from happening to other customers.

I am prepared to escalate this matter to the appropriate consumer protection agencies and regulatory bodies if no action is taken.

I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this issue through your standard channels, including the steps you mentioned. Unfortunately, I continue to receive generic responses that fail to address the core problem: I am being charged $91.00 for a 500Mbps plan that is actively advertised on your website for $55.00.

I am well aware that I am no longer bound by any contract or promotional terms. My expectation is that Xfinity will honor the advertised price for the service I am receiving, regardless of past agreements. The fact that I am out of my 2-year term reinforces my right to pay the current advertised price.


Simply put, there is no valid reason for me to pay $91.00 when the exact same service is offered for $55.00. Even without the promotional pricing, the standard rate for this plan is listed on your website at $65.00, which is still significantly lower than what I am being charged.

Is that just through live chat? I keep doing that with no luck.

@tfallon01 

Is that advertised rate of $55 for new customers, or are you seeing it on your promotion page?  If it's for new customers it's doubtful you would get that rate.
