We Were Tricked Out Of Our Grandfathered Plan...

So around 48 hours ago my mother was trying to reduce expenses on our bill by just trying to drop a few paid channels that we never use as well a disconnecting the landline, this was done without family discussion so she thought she was saving money [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

Not only was the woman who she initially talked to barley able to speak English or understandable at all but she INTENTIONALLY neglected to inform my mother that once the plan was changed it could not be changed back. 

After undoing the plan we've had for years we decided we wanted the landline returned & Cartoon Network turned back on...Our original bill which included MANY PAID CHANNELS like HBO, Starz, etc with the Landline Included was $230 a month! NOW after just adding back those TWO THINGS it's back to $230 a month and we have even LESS than before!

She has since been told by two other customer service reps that she can no longer have her old service back, after over a DECADE of being a customer! [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

[Edited: "Inflammatory"] You people KNOW exactly what your doing to take advantage of people like this!

Fix this issue! Give us back our original plan at the same price or CHEAPER or I HER SON WILL TAKE YOU PEOPLE TO COURT SO HELP ME GOD! I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MY MOTHER! I ALREADY HAVE A LAWYER ON STANDBY! AND I WILL TAKE YOU TO COURT!

You have been warned! Fix this issue FULLY & COMPLETELEY [Edited: "Threat"]

Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago.  I used chat to ask a billing question and as he reviewed my account he said he could save me some money by removing the landline that we have never used.  In the text I repeatedly stated I don't want to do it if it changes anything else about my account.  He assured me it would t and just said I had to agree to the text making the phone change.  Once again, I asked if anything in what he wanted me to agree to  would change anything other than my phone line being removed and once again he gave me his assurances.  Should I have read it- maybe but not when he flat out assured me 4 times.  Next thing I know, DVR IS ERASED, PREMIUM CHANNELS GONE.   I immediately asked and I was told he would fix it---transferred 4 different times with each person just reviewing notes and then passing me off.  I asked for transcript 5 times and never got response.  I did screenshot the whole conversation though.   
This is what ATT got sued for not long ago as they manipulated customer plans to get them off the unlimited.  I am willing to take this as far as possible.
FYI/. I called to complain and see if talking directly to person would help...Nope.  Manager said only chat team could address anything that happened in chat.  When I explained that chat just transferred me to avoid adressing, he (Mark) said nothing he could do.  After asking for his manager, he told me nobody above him to talk to.  I asked if I could record him (he said yes) and I asked the following "so even knowing I spent an hour plus getting transferred and avoided, you're telling me there is not a person I can talk too so my option is to go back to chat and likely be avoided again-- so basically, Xfinity is telling me to pound sand"!  He said "YES".  As with the chat screenshots, I have this recorded as well.

XfinityJeniece:  Could you please post the resolution of this, as I plan to drop my land line in the near 

future and do not want to go through the posted experience of having my services disappear.

I think that @tbill1  is wanting reassurance that only the phone line will be removed and nothing else be changed when it happens.

Evidently reassurances will not be forthcoming.
