My Internet Connect plan has been 75Mbps. It cost $19.99 in 2022. Now it's $15 more. Was it simply a rate increase or an error?

Did I miss or forget the fine print when I signed up Dec 31st 2021 for Xfinity Internet with regular monthly charges totaling $23.99/m plus $1.23 in taxes, fees and I even got a credit balance of $4.78/m for each month in 2022 from the $30/m Affordable Connectivity Program. All of a sudden, in January 2023, the regular monthly charges have become $39.99/m plus 1.32. Why has the 'Internet: Connect" portion increased by $15 from $19.99/m to $34.99/m? Was it in my Dec 31st 2021 contract? Speed hasn't changed at all despite some 100mbps boast, while my home internet tends to die just before monthly billing, with at least one TV needing to be reconnected to the home Network - gees enter the network name AND password on a tv remote twice a month is too too much. And for all of last year, the ACP credit balance was never automatically applied to my $15/m Xfinity Mobile bill, despite two calls LAST YEAR and ONE call and LONG live chat this year through at least 7 live chat transfers from one rep to another, to a supposedly dedicated ACP team, only to have the chat hang just before transfer to a western region team. And no follow through after each hang or promised refund of credit or promised automatic application of monthly credit balance to the Xfinity Mobile bill. I kept getting told the arrangement will go into effect in 48 hours, I will receive confirmation on its going into effect, but the change won't show until the next bill.  Well it's been at least 6 billing cycles last year, at least two 48hrs to no avail - like Comcast gets to manage if not keep the credit balance of the ACP to be applied to its own unannounced Internet rate increase whenever, and the $4.78 credit balance from the ACP, NEVER EVER applied to the Xfinity Mobile bill as if Xfinity Mobile is a different company with a different accounting system, when the intent of ACP is to be applied to the entire digital communication needs to a max of $30 during the pandemic. Dead-in-the-water customer service! Hapless Billing or Creative siphoning to points unknown. Let's have an audit of the $4.78/m per ACP customer?

Hi there, @user_557a3a. Thank you for creating a post and reaching out via our forums. We will be more than happy to assist you. Please keep in mind that the credit for ACP is applied directly to the bill and Comcast does not receive any part of that credit it is applied directly to the service itself. As for your issues with the bill increase, I will be more than happy to look into this for you. Send us a peer-to-peer message to assist you further.

@XfinityEdgardo​ Don't understand how to use this community chat room. I refuse to mark your answer as the accepted answer. I got all the answers I needed after many phone calls, live chat transfers, etc. Despite what you said and the Xfinity website said, there was no auto-application of the credit balance in my Xfinity Internet Account to my Xfinity Mobile Account for all of 2022. The $15/m increase for Xfinity Internet kicked in on January 1st 2023 as 2022's lower rate was just a promotion price for the first year, and I did finally get confirmation through a phone call last week. I am not going to challenge the increase for internet service in 2023 as I can't find the carbon or if there ever was one. Sounds about the usual 2-year bundle with various baits, traps, bundles and different end-dates. Xfinity reps should not have kept promising credit back to my card or claimed to be filing paperwork or request for the auto-application of the ACP credit toward the Xfinity mobile bill, should not have subjected me to ever-longer transfers to a supposed dedicated ACP team/rep all those months of communication, only to have the live chat hang, and nobody at Xfinity either didn't know or didn't want to follow through - it was an ordeal before last week's single transfer to the right person at long last. In the end, my ACP credit balance will be used up in no time on the $41.xx Internet bill now in 2023. Will just find a new provider at end of Dec 2023, 2-year anniversary hurray, sell my short shares in Comcast. Gees, How was your chat an Answer but a lame offer of help all over again. If only your colleagues working the front line are equally well-trained like you. I wouldn't want to engage in another round of communication with yet another superficially pleasant rep with no follow-through. This Comcast customer is exhausted.

Close this case if you can, pat yourself on your back if you must. If you are worth anything, forward my complaints to your higher ups about what ACP customers and customers of bundles have to face every single year without reminders/communications of end-dates. All I can say is, at least there are no reps tearing their hair out, getting frustrated in return with me, at me and so forth this time around compared to 2 years ago. I need to decompress, cut the cord, again.
