My June 16, 2020 Comcast bill tells me that Comcast the "primary" TV Box and its remote are no longer included in my "TV package" and will be charged separatly. $4.85 will be charged for the TV box and $0.15 will be charged for it's remote ($5.00 total). The cost of the TV package did not change; instead a $5.00 "Equipment Discount" is included in the bill for the next 12 months. After the 12 months the monthly bill effectively increses by $5.00. Yet another way for Comcast to make more money.
Because of this change I lost the $10.00 Customer Owned Equipment adjustment I was recieving because for the two cable card tuners I use (instead of Comcast owned equipment), but I gained the $5.oo "Equipment Discount" for a net $5.00 increase in my monthly billl. I am not charged the $5.00 for the TV box and remote (which I should not be).
I don't understand is why my bill increased by $5.00 per month because of this change. No one at Comcast can explain (to my satisfaction) why my bill should increase by $5.00 per month. And after 12 months my bill will effectively increase by $10.00 per month (when the $5.00 "Equipment Discount" expires. I'll be using my own equipmnet but pay the same amout (or more) than those who are using Comcase equipment. I don't get it.
