Why Xfinity keeps charging more for continuing, loyal customers?!

We’ve been with Xfinity for upwards of 20 years. After moving multiple times, signing up for the “special” rate, and then after the 2 years of that rate, we then have our bill go up $60 a month because the promo is over. WHY do we have to keep jumping through hoops with this company?!?! We see a new customer promotion and it’s significantly cheaper but we don’t qualify. Customer service response is sorry you’re not a new customer. Xfinity builds its brand on us and then later provides discounts only to new customers. We don’t get it. Do we have to keep canceling our service to get the new best offer of $70/month for 1GB internet instead of the “old” customer price of $100? Other providers in the area are half that for the same 1GB. When you have multiple products through Xfinity, they should reward loyalty.

I guess this is my point. Why is it necessary to keep contacting Xfinity customer service to get told no and then feel like I need to comment here to get attention to the matter. The previous customer service rep I called yesterday said that I’m not a new customer so I don’t qualify for these promotions. Prior to that I opened a chat with a rep who said the same. Why do I need a promotion as a continuous customer of Xfinity? Xfinity is continually repackaging their products, then doing away with the package and requiring continuing customers to sign up for a new package. It’s truly mind boggling. Shouldn’t all customer service reps have access to these same discounts and promotions for continuing customers? What would be different in contacting yet another rep?

user_whatthehay I completely understand how frustrating this feels, and I’m sorry you’ve had to keep going in circles trying to get a clear answer. After being with Xfinity for so many years, it makes sense to expect consistency and to feel recognized for your loyalty. You’re right that promotional pricing can feel confusing. These offers are typically time‑limited and tied to specific packages, so when they expire, standard rates apply. As packages and promotions change over time, the available options can look very different from what you had before, which is why it can feel like you’re being asked to “start over.”

That said, our goal is always to make sure you’re getting the best value based on what’s currently available. While not every promotion applies the same way, our team does have the ability to review your account and check for updated plans, new bundles, or pricing options that may better fit your needs today. I know it’s frustrating to feel like you’re being told the same thing repeatedly, but each review looks at the most current offers and account-specific details, which can change. That’s why connecting with us directly gives us the best chance to find something that works better for you now.

If you’re open to it, please send a direct message with your name and service address. I’d really like to take a fresh look at your account and help find the best option available today.

I have been with Comcast/Xfinity for over 22 years and asked for a price reduction on my services in April...agent said to call back in May and check for promotions. A call back in May rendered no discounts, another frustrating experience, and a huge waste of my time! Over the years I have experienced countless problems with TV, internet, and customer service! Every time I call I feel like I am being hustled and pushed around. My recent TV issues took over 8 months to completely resolve. The resolution was to bury a new line which Comcast attempted to charge me $100.00 fee for their faulty line. Currently shopping for a new internet provider to end my miserable Comcast relationship!

That is crazy. I’m also shopping around for new deals elsewhere. I had to again repackage my deal yesterday to save $50 a month according to the rep. I had to give up some services to get that. Now I see my charges for next month and it’s actually less than that. I have TV, internet, home phone and mobile with Xfinity. The fiber internet provider here offers the same 1GB for 50% cheaper than Xfinity. Unacceptable that I couldn’t even get a 10% discount from Xfinity on my internet but new customers get more than 25% off. Not as good as 50 but it’s better than 10!

@user_whatthehay Let me clarify, I was given a $5 per month discount for 60 months 😂 but the other repackaging the rep did of all the Xfinity products was what I could have done myself through my online account. Again, I had to give up some TV channels for the new price and the previous multi-product discounts I received had “expired” even though I still have those multiple products. Now I’m going to turn in my extra cable box and stream my channels so I’m not charged the $14 per month fee just to access the services I’m already paying for. Yeah, I can stream but we all know the Xfinity remotes with voice are easier to use. So now I’m giving up ease of use for these same Xfinity products. That is unacceptable.

my on-line account wont even let me see the options for repackaging offers. It only gives me offer for current "ultimate" tv or very basic. Not even an option to go in-between.

I've been with Xfinity for 28 years. I love their products, but I am disappointed with the increase. And I'm also disappointed that there is no cost effective optins for long time customer with more than 1 product anymore. I've contacted them several times in a month, finally I got my bill down to a reasonable price. The discount that was applied to have my monthly bill affordable to me was changed the next month. The discount was taken away and a 1 time credit was put on my account. Then I went to the Xfinity store and there I was told the discount for having multiple product with Xfinity is no longer offered. And that I must have been talking to someone in retention, but no explanation of why the discount was taken off my account. Times are much different now and there is too much competition out there. With that being said I know there is a discount that can be given, because it was on my account before the agent went back in and took it off. This is my last dig effort to try to continue to patronage the company.

They raised my rates by $55 per month. I have spoken to 3 different reps and been given 3 different prices for the same service. One told me to close and reopen in spouses name to get the best deal. I am ready to just jump to Youtube TV. It is almost as easy to use as Comcast, for a lot less money and no cable boxes involved.
