RE: Important Information—Price Changes
Dear Ms. Monroe,
At Comcast, we're committed to delivering the entertainment and services that matter most to our customers in
the City of Bremerton, as well as exciting experiences they won't find anywhere else. As we continue to invest
in our network, products, and services, the cost of doing business rises. Programming fees–the cost
associated with carrying the programming our customers demand, especially broadcast television and sports
programming–continue to rise each year and are one of our biggest expenses. While we absorb some of
these costs, these fee increases affect service pricing. As a result, starting February 1, 2020, prices for certain
services and fees will be increasing, including the Broadcast TV Fee and the Regional Sports Network Fee.
Please see the enclosed Customer Notice for more information.
While some prices may increase, we continue to invest in technology to drive innovation. We work hard to
bring our customers great value every day and exciting new developments, including:
• Xfinity Stream app included with Xfinity TV has the most free shows and movies
• Apps like Netflix, Pandora, Amazon, and YouTube integrated on our X1 platform and easily accessed
using our Voice Remote
• 163,000+ shows and movies on Xfinity On Demand
• Enhanced control of in-home Wi-Fi with Xfinity xFi
• Advanced security with the Xfinity Wireless Gateway
• The fastest Internet speeds in the country
• 19 million Xfinity WiFi hotspots nationwide
We know you may have questions about these changes. If I can be of any further assistance, please contact
me at(253)864-4274.
Sincerely,
Edlira Kuka
