Price Increase
Hello,
In a month's time, the price of my internet service has more than doubled as my 2-year contract has ended. I've also been notified that my bill will increase even further as 2025 prices rise. While I recognize the inevitability of gradual price increases, such a huge increase by a large corporation has left me frustrated. I am considering canceling the service if I cannot reduce my bill.
Thank you!

My "Happy New Year" gift is a 40% increase in my internet only. I definitely will look for an alternative immediately. Even the fed govt inflation has accumulated to "only" 20%+/-. Can't wait to find an alternative to comcast by any name.

You don't have to wait until the contract period ends to signup for a different promotional discount. I check every few months for a better promotion rate.
I highly recommend doing this at least once a year, and definitely way before the contract ends.
When I have made a change this way, there is no additional administration/signup/activation charge. The change just happens. You may need to reboot your router. This assumes your router has the capability for the speed you choose.

I just became aware of the changes and price hike to Xfinity service. Bay Area sports channel (MLB) no longer available with my package. The upgrade in service will be approximately $50.00 more per month. Not worth it. I may just CUT THE CORD.....

Awesome that my service just went up without being notified beforehand. I'm probably going to go with another cell and internet provider. That's a big increase for one household.

Price hike from $55 to $89 a month for the same service I've had for years? That seems like an extremely excessive increase. Unable to speak with a representative via Chat OR Phone? This is frustrating and disappointing. Looks like my credit for owning my own gateway equipment is no longer in effect either. What's going on here?

We have been on the phone and chat for over 6+ hours with Xfinity regarding our outrageous price increases over the past few months. This communication goes now where and we have spent 20 days trying to resolve. Being hung up on by customer service or "disconnected" . Being promised over the chat feature to lower our bill to 190.00 (we have the transcript as well) and still cannot get to a management supervisor to have this authorized and lowered. SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!! Need HELP!!!!!

Let me know if you have any success. I am considering leaving after being a customer for 32 years over the pricing and was on the chat for 7 hours with no success to get it down. Two years ago they gave me a contract with a lower price for two years that helped a lot but today nothing but a HUGE headache. didn't think I would ever leave xfinity but today they have given me just cause to remove myself from their customer base.

I had not been with Xfinity even a year and m rates went up. I will be exploring other options. Obviously this will be the first of many increases.

I'm in a similar situation with my price having increased dramatically. I've been a customer for years and dealing with Xfinity's slimy business practices the whole time such as being forced to swallow basic-tier TV service in order to have internet service. In order to cut costs I finally decided to "Change Plan" and cancel that TV service that I never wanted but lo and behold the website still won't let me cancel anything directly because they've rigged my account so that TV is still being considered part of a package deal years after my contract expired. Garbage like this makes me so excited that fiber is coming to my area so I'll finally have a high-speed option other than Xfinity!
