They didn't raise the price. You simply allowed your year (or 2-year) agreement to expire, and now they're charging you the normal price. You were paying a discount.

Give them a call, be willing to sit on hold for awhile and get frustrated pushing buttons on your phone to get a live person (1-800-xfinity).

Tell them you know the plan is $50/month for new customers, and YOU are giving THEM two options:

They can cancel your service, at which point you're now a new customer and will sign up again with the $50 price.

or they can just renew your recently-expired agreement.

The extra you're paying is probably your modem rental. I own my modem, so I don't pay that extra $9/month.
