Had issue with set-top box and now Verizon skyrockets my bill

Hi All,

I was locked in with a grandfather price of $41.99 for 6 set top boxes. I've had the price roll over now for over 4 years. I had an issue back in December where one of my boxes started to reboot randomly. I had the box replaced and then the set top boxes reset to $71.99 which is the current price. I spoke to someone back in January and they adjusted the price and assured me that the price would be adjusted back to $41.99 going forward.

Of course I'm on here because what they said didn't actually happen. 3 months of bills and the price is yep $71.99. I spoke to someone who said they could only adjust the price and provide a credit if I agree to a new 2 year contract. I would be ok with that but they jacked up the price another $8. Yeah it isn't a lot but seeing how the tax fees they somehow continue to increase those, I'm going to be over $200 once again. I've asked for an escalation on the matter. As much as I hate Comcast, I'm really thinking about switching.
