Comcast Business contracts often lock in your service rate. They do not lock in fees that the company calls network or broadcast charges. Those can rise inside your term, even with a SurePrice plan.
Most carriers raise prices in waves. Comcast tends to update its fee notice a few times a year. The 2026 round follows the same pattern as past years. The base service rate stays the same. Side fees go up.
That side fee bucket is where the most overpayment happens. It is small enough to ignore each month and big enough to add up to hundreds of dollars a year. Three fees show up the most in our reviews.
1Network Investment Charge
Comcast says this fee helps pay for the network. It is not a government fee. It can go up at any time. It is not protected by your contract price.
2Broadcast TV Fee
This fee shows up on TV bundles. It can rise during a promotional or term agreement. Comcast spells this out in their bill changes notice.
3Administrative Cost Recovery Fee
This is a carrier surcharge, not a tax. If your signed agreement does not list it, you can ask to remove it at the next renewal.
What to do this week
- Pull your last two invoices and compare each fee line. Note any that went up.
- Look at your signed agreement. If a fee is not listed there by name, flag it.
- Call your account team and ask which charges are protected and which are not. Get the answer in writing.
You will not always win every fee dispute. But you will at least know which charges are real and which are soft.
