Ye gods .... another one of the totally-not-fake FCC complaints from a concerned citizen.

And another one ....

Wow! Just when I wondered how stupidly brazen those guys are?

But what's worse: the original complaint, that the FCC left them up for the world to see, or the chairman getting into a Twitter spat with Alyssa Milano?

No need for a new thread ... this one will do.
(it's about more than Comcast despite the url)

http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Comcast-Hikes-Prices-Increases-Sneaky-Fees-for-2018-140907

Comcast is joining Dish, Cox and DirecTV in informing customers that they'll be paying significantly more money for the same service in the new year. Users in our Comcast Xfinity forum say they're being told that the company is preparing monthly price hikes of $1 to $5 for most of the company's pay TV services. Comcast's is also jacking up the price it charges for premium channels, as well as its monthly "Regional Sports fee" from $5 to $6.75 per month.

Users are also being informed that Comcast is bumping its misleading "Broadcast TV fee" from $7 per month to $7.75.

The broadcast TV fee simply takes a portion of Comcast's programming costs and buries it below the line, resulting in users facing bill shock when they realize they'll be paying more than they signed up for. That fee was just $1.50 when introduced in 2013, and provides a wonderful way for Comcast to falsely advertise a lower rate. Comcast is facing several lawsuits over the misleading nature of both the broadcast TV and its regional sports fees.

Even Comcast's streaming TV service Instant TV, barely a year old, is seeing price hikes. Users that subscribe to this service can expect to pay $3 to $3.50 more per month in the new year.

And in case you were about to blame all of these hikes on broadcasters (which Comcast NBC Universal already is anyway), Comcast will be raising prices on most of the company's hardware rental fees as well. These hikes come after Comcast fought tooth and nail to scuttle an FCC effort to bring greater competition to the cable box. Modem rental fees will be bumped $1 to $11 per month, while missed payment fees are also being increased fifty cents to $10.

This full thread in our forum has a breakdown of all the looming changes.
