Why did my Internet price increase by $17 for no reason?

@Patricia22 Hello, I appreciate your feedback, but we would be very sad to see you go to another provider. If you review the last few pdf statements, the notification of increased rates should show. If not, I'm very sorry about that. I would be happy to review the account to see how we can get it to a pricing that works with your budget. Please send us a direct message with your full name and service address.

From my experience most rate increases 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 if you have not already and I would be happy to review the account for a new discount or to look for additional savings for you. 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!
