Reduce TV plan cost or I leave Xfinity after 21 years.

I am a loyal Diamond member (21 years with Xfinity) who has spent several frustrating hours on chat and phone calls with Xfinity support trying to reduce my Xfinity TV costs. I am a senior now on fixed income.  I have been trying out YouTube TV which is about $30 a month cheaper than the legacy TV plan I currently have.  I have been told that because I have a legacy plan even reducing to fewer channels will still cost me the same if not more. I was also told by one chat support person that I could eliminate the Landline/home phone which we don't need and save $30 a month. When I spoke by phone with another support person she told me that it isn't possible to just cancel the home phone line, I had to change TV plans, which would not save me anything. She also told me a supervisor would be calling me, but that never happened.

If you want to keep me as a customer, you need to get back to me right away with an offer that will save me a substantial amount, or I will be switching to another platform for TV and possibly internet. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, but I logged in and don't see any Peer to Peer Chat icon in the upper right corner of the page. I see Search, Find a Store, Cart and Account icons.

There is no "Peer to peer chat" icon. The facility and the icon were renamed "Direct Messaging" over a year ago.
