Equipment Responsibility and Fees

Why it matters

Unexpected equipment fees can appear on your bill if leased equipment is lost or damaged, even due to circumstances partially outside your control.

Consumer impact

This agreement significantly affects your legal rights by requiring all disputes with Comcast to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, and by waiving your right to participate in class action lawsuits. Comcast retains the right to modify service terms and pricing, meaning your monthly bill or service features can change with notice. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by following the written opt-out process described in the agreement, typically within 30 days of first becoming subject to the provision.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Dispute a Fee
    If you are charged an equipment fee you believe is incorrect, call Xfinity customer service to dispute the charge. Have your account number and any relevant documentation ready.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has jurisdiction over undisclosed or unclear fee practices in consumer service contracts.
