Expensive bill, unimpressive services- help me understand??

[brow3665]

Okay, I need help understanding my bill/reoccurring charges and my options. 

Here are my monthly bill details:

INTERNET PLUS INSTANT TV- $54.95

Includes Limited Basic, 20 Hours of Cloud DVR and Performance Plus Internet

Includes $24.00 Service Discount

Internet:  SPEED INCREASE- $30.00

Blast! Pro Internet

INTERNET EQUIPMENT- $14.00

Rental

BROADCAST TV FEE- $12.60

Taxes, fees and other charges- $6.07

Total: $117.62

So let me explain MY understanding and thoughts.

I have a ROKU Smart TV, that I use my family's DirectTV subscription to access all the networks I need through the ROKU TV platform. So this essentially just requires the internet to stream. I do not have a regular TV.

I wanted to ensure fast internet speeds a few years back when I was completing some online education. 

What are all the extra TV charges?? I do have the 10 or so channel access through the Xfinity Beta App through ROKU TV. What is the broadcast charge?? I don't have any fancy premium channels and hardly use the live TV. 

It looks like I have the fastest internet speed possible?? This is ironic because I still feel like my speeds are slow and glitchy and I often get bumped off. 

Thanks in advance!

Hello brow3665. 

 The Broadcast TV Fee is an itemized charge that recovers a portion of the costs of re-transmitting broadcast television signals. Broadcast stations have the right to charge for their signals, and cable providers like Comcast end up paying substantial fees in order to carry them.
