Peacock currently with my X1, how long?

So, my current Xfinity contract is up, and prior to the dreaded call begging for a reduced rate for the 30+ year customer at the same address, anyone know how long Comcast will continue to offer the free Peacock with the X1.  It's already becoming NFL exclusive and Big 10 basketball, we all know what is next.  I'm just tired of my $250 monthly bill going up, and services I desire going down. Ironic how Comcast owns NBC who owns Peacock.  One would think that this is a planned additional money stream to us loyal cable DVR users.  Just on the fringe of going al le carte like the kids tell me to, ATT fiber is now available to me with a fantastic offer.

If you have been with Comcast for that long, you should sign up for the Rewards program if you haven't. You will probably be Diamond level, and can get ad-support Peacock for free as long as you remain a Comcast customer. Just be aware that you ONLY  have access to the ad-supported version. You CANNOT upgrade to ad-free. Once a Peacock account is linked, it cannot be unlinked. If you want to go ad-free, you will need a separate Peacock account (different email address.)

If you have moved your services to a different address, you may initially show up as just how long you are at your current address. If you contact Comcast, they can correct that.

Thanks, I did as you suggested, after a stern opening about I'm not supposed to do it this way, then I said I was told to, the guy went through the motions to assist me. I might as well gotten online and looked at plans available to Joe new customer next door. (which he later suggested).  Bottom line, bill will go up as new statement indicates, being a 30+ year Diamond member (funny story, I was one of the first in my large city with HDTV back in late 90s, Comcast suits and techs were at my house using my equipment to adjust theirs)  Anyways, seems the bottom line, I am to ask my adult kids to help me look at xFinity's offerings vs other options.  There is no loyalty with xFinity, I'm feeling the same on my end anymore, and with the inability to record sports (especially my Big10 basketball) as they move to Peacock, it's a very tough pill to swallow.
