Comcast has price increases every January. If your service includes cable tv starting with January 2021 every month you will pay $18.50 broadcast fee and $9.20 regional sports fee(increase of$5.50 from 2020) The triple play plans( phone,internet,cable tv) are cheaper than using two of Comcast services. These services from Comcast are 2 year commitments with a penalty if u cancel before. Modem/ router monthly rental $15.00, TV box $7.50 from $5.00 in 2020. It is better to own your own equipment. When I purchased my own modem/router my blast internet speed went from 200mbp to 100mbp? Recently my 2 years was up and Comcast was going to charge me over $200. Monthly. I was paying $159. monthly for 3 services after calling to cancel and negotiating I was able to keep the same service for the same price. (Forgot about yearly price increase) my monthly bill now says I am saving $83. A month. If you call them to use their service make sure they email you a copy of what you agreed to before you sign it to make sure service and price are what they stated. Next time around I will cancel phone and tv and use cell phone and stream tv. The price for any internet service is excessive but that’s how they make up for losing people from their other services.
