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!

Why are the monthly charges going up?

That is a great question @user_4y3vww ! From my experience it 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 Xfinity 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. I would be happy to review the account for a new discount. 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. 

 

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!

This conversation will end with “we’ll see if there’s any discounts we can give you for now” then they’ll try to sell you their cellphone service and ultimately nothing will change. I recommend switching internet providers.

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.

  • Just go to your account on the web (maybe can be done in the app, but I hate the app).
  • Click on the hamburger menu on the upper left, and select Internet/Internet Deals. Under the place to enter your address, click Sign In Here.
  • Sign in
  • Scroll down to "Need to change your plan" and click Shop Deals and more.
  • Next to "Internet" click "Upgrade speed". This will let you see all the plans, promotions, and prices.

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.

Hi,

My xfinity internet bill just increase from $45 to $75 today, that is a 67% increase. I am a senior and with low income, I can not afford this price increase.

I might have to cancel this service with xfinity. And go with other option.

Regards,

-HB

Yeah my promotion is over, and they claim there are no promotions they can put me on. They did say they can drop my Internet plan from $153 to $145 if I cut my data in half. smh [Edited: "Soliciting"]. Been with Comcast for over 10 years, but they keep increasing the price. Yeah after year they price hike. 2024 was also a huge increase. Autopay debit or credit card was $5 off bill, now it's only $2

Removing my content and labeling as soliciting is not cool. I am with comcast, how is saying I'm looking at other deals right now which are showing lower for same plan soliciting?

@user_d501ca​ Did you log into your account to see what other internet plans are available? I prefer to look myself rather then trust the random xfinity support agent.

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!!!!!

@user_duq2uy​ Have you tried just picking a new plan on line at xfinity.com. It's a little wonky:

  • Goto https://xfinity.com
  • From the hamburger menu in the upper left, select Internet, then Deals
  • Click "Already a customer, Sign In here
  • Sign in
  • Then select Internet from the hamburger menu again
  • Then you should see a button for "Shop Faster Internet"

You can then browser all the same offers the customer rep sees and just pick the right plan for you. I do this annually. MUCH faster than calling them.

Hello, [Edited: "Solicitation"]

I was recently overcharged by Xfinity Comcast after signing up for a promotion for free mobile service with the purchase of an unlimited high speed internet plan. I was instructed to place my account on auto pay to receive additional discounts, and within 30 days Xfinity Comcast had debited my USAA account 4 separate times. What's worse is that they misallocated those funds and did not apply them to my bill. As a result 4 months into my 24 month contract and my service was interrupted for non payment with a past due balance of 300+$ (the money they previously debited from my account should have covered all four months). I contacted Xfinity Comcast several times to no avail. I then filed a complaint with the FCC who sent the complaint to Xfinity Comcast where no less than 4 "executives" have reviewed my account and insisted that there was no error while one of the agents pointed out that the money debited from my USAA account was used to pay for my mobile service (that was falsely advertised as free) another agent added a credit to the mobile profile to cover the balance of the account making it free moving forward, but has still refused to adjust the past problem and correctly apply the money I paid. Two months into my mediation and I've spent one month without mobile service and now one month without internet. 

It is my opinion that Xfinity Comcast could not be a worse service provider if they tried. They are deceptive and misleading in their advertising and out right insulting in their regard for consumers intelligence.

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'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!

user_cy8hdy, Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out. As a paying consumer myself, I can understand the importance of being able to change your plan seamlessly. I am sorry to learn that we have made you feel this way and for not being able to cancel anything directly. If I cancelled my video service I never wanted and saw that it was still being part of my package, it would bother me too.  We will surely miss your business. You've come to the right place. Over social media, we are a specialized team of experts who will do everything within our power to make this process as easy as possible over social media. We can help. How did you originally cancel the TV service? I can help get that removed for you on my end. To further assist, please send us a direct message with your first/last name and full address. You can start by clicking the "direct message" icon in the upper right page of our forum page. Once you click on that, input our  shared handle Xfinity Support to send us a direct message.
