Exactly $10 price increase? Read your bill and make sure they didn't add a line item to the bill that wasn't there before. I did. Nothing new. How is this topic not generating more outrage

They like to fuck with you. I never get warnings about price increases.
I started off at $50/mo for one year, the next year it went up to $65, 6 months after it was $75, and then at the two year mark it was $230. I cancelled immediately. It solely for internet too. 150mbps or some jank.

Yeah, I read on reddit they started doing that to people a few weeks ago. I really hate Comcast. I wish more people did. Though they were the first multiple-time winner of The Consummerist’s Worst Company in America.

Dude I'm not racist or anything but is there a law that every customer service helper speak with a thick Indian accent? The call center is most likely in India

back in my day people would gather evidence like this to fix the issue, not whine about it on gamefaqs or reddit.
i say reddit because this happened there like two weeks ago, the dude took the information to them and they corrected it. it's sly as fuck, absolutely, but that isn't exactly breaking news for murican ISPs. |

Got off the phone with customer service. She tried to sell me a fucking different plan with TV in it (which I obviously had zero interest in) that actually would've increased my monthly.

Supervisor my guy. Call back and immediately ask for a supervisor. They will make sure it gets fixed simply because they don’t want to deal with you. Their goal is to keep falls short as possible so they will give you what you want I’d wager.

Why are you being charged a broadcast TV fee? I'm not, that's not my current plan. That's the plan she wanted me to sign up for. My current plan is just internet for $50/mo (now $60/mo, I guess)

ISPs and phone companies tend to do outright illegal shit.
Like how Verizon said they would throw in an extra wireless speaker if my dad bought one, and on his bill he had an unexplained charge that amounted to the exact price of a second speaker. Apparently Verizon employees are straight up told to do stuff like this.

ISPs and phone companies tend to do outright illegal shit. This. I worked at Sprint and we are told to do this. The goal is to do it in a way people don’t realize it isn’t free. For example let’s say you come in looking at possibly changing plans. There are a bunch of old plans that are way more expensive than new ones. The new plans are flexible and you can choose based on how much data you need which can dramatically lower a bill possibly. We also had the power to do installment billing or spread costs of accessories into 12 payments on bills. Basically people would put you on a cheaper plan then bundle in those installment payments so the bill is almost the same. What people don’t understand is cellular retail employees are not your friend whatsoever. Our bosses preached to us it’s not our job to lower someone’s bill. It’s our job to give them a better “value” at this price AKA more shit they don’t need. Our quotas were based on selling lines of service and accessories and shit got REALLY grimy. I had to get out. It’s a shady and very deceptive industry.

Okay, so you tell her no to that and say you just want the erroneous billing for your current plan fixed. Did you do that? You should be able to get the price back to what you were paying before.

Claimed she didn't have the authority to do so. Said it went up because of how service charges increase over time or some corporate bullshit that I could barely understand because call centers in India. I'm calling back now because I just found this: Funny how she didn't tell me the plan on the left existed. Same speed, but lmao that puts me at the same price I was at before (add $10/mo for the modem rental to put it at 49.99, then tax should put me well below $60+/mo that they want me to pay now, or that the one from yesterday (the plan on the right) wanted me to change to.

She said it might not reflect on my upcoming bill though so if I end up paying 60 this month, I will get a "service credit" of $10 on my following bill, which is annoying because hey now that's another thing I have to look out for and call back if it's not thereNot removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

Spectrum was sending out flyers here about how they're gonna double our speeds from 100 to 200 for no extra cost. This was around the 28th of December, still haven't gotten the new bill. will get it in about a week.
I pay around 118 a month for internet/phone/tvi7-3970X Extreme ~ Asus Rampage IV Extreme ~ 32 GB DDR3-2133 ~ 10 TB 7200RPM ~ 500 GB SSD ~ 690 x2 ~ 1200 W PSU Gold ~Banjo2553 posted...Fuck Comcast, they try to charge me for modem rental every year when I bought my own. If I had options I'd switch.
the first time I installed Comcast, I was told the fee for using my own modem was essentially the same as their rental charge.
the second time I installed Comcast, I was flat out told I wasn't allowed to use my own at all, and they still charged the rental fee.Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
Act now! Venchmen are standing by for your orders!Dayum some of you guys are getting better deals than me. My internet speed is 20mbps from Time Warner Spectrum and I have to pay $110's for it because the only way they would sell it to me at that speed was if I bought it with tv and a phone line package. Otherwise it's $25's for 6mbps internet.It's what all true warriors strive for!Well my internet is $X amount for the first year, then it increases to $Y the next year, which is also stated in the agreement you sign when you get service.
So did you check your original agreement and see it wasn't because of that?
Also when mine increased I called and asked about it and they were able to apply a current promo which brought me back to the first year rate for the upcoming year.New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees.Prestoff posted...Dayum some of you guys are getting better deals than me.

It all depends on what's available in your area. It varies widely due to shitty monopolies and duopolies that aren't regulated properly.
I used to only be able to get 10mbps as the highest plan available for like $100 once you included taxes and the forced modem rental. It also had a 60gb cap that wasn't enforced though. Then a bigger company bought them and I'm getting 150mbps for about $80 but it always tests as like 40mbps and it has a strictly enforced 300gb cap which sucks.
