Since Comcast’s executive leadership and directors believe it’s more important to conceal their individual political slants while they use the Company’s assets and levers of power to engage in divisive – and often even destructive – policies, we have reproduced below campaign contribution information for each of this year’s board nominees, except for two who turned up no, or almost no, data.

The Company also implemented a grant program that discriminated against business owners based on their race.4 Comcast was sued, and not long afterward dropped the program.5 In 2021 the Company echoed the demagoguery surrounding the Georgia Election Integrity Law,6 which the President of the United States likened to “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”7 The result of the enacted law was seen in the 2022 elections, as the “most successful election in history,” as early voting tripled relative to 2018, and it became “easier for citizens to vote and harder to cheat.”8 9

Comcast gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

In addition to Comcast’s donation, another $1 million to Trump’s inauguration came from EWB Services, an obscure corporate entity that listed a mailing address near Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square.

Comcast “has chosen to segregate these fees from its base price so it can deceptively advertise and promise an artificially low price to price-sensitive customers, and at the same time confuse and conceal the true monthly cost of its Cable Television Packages.”

Despite blaming customer service reps for the problems, Comcast has known for years “that it has misrepresented the total cost of its Cable Television Packages and failed to disclose that it will charge substantial, additional fees in addition to the deceptively low price that is promised consumers,” the lawsuit said.

In November 2018, Comcast agreed to pay $700,000 in refunds “and cancel debts for more than 20,000 Massachusetts customers” to settle allegations that it used deceptive advertising to promote long-term cable contracts, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced at the time.

In 2015, Comcast/Xfinity deceptively enrolled a consumer in a minimum-term agreement Cable Television Package that she did not want, and then charged her an early termination fee when she cancelled the unrequested package.

But in fact, “Comcast/Xfinity is not required by any state or federal law to collect such fees,” the Minnesota complaint said.

The attorney general’s office said Comcast provided “inaccurate and misleading” information on pricing to customers who were going into long-term contracts, and failed to disclose fees that could bump up monthly bills by 40 percent above the price that’d been advertised.

Comcast will pay $700,000 in refunds and cancel debts for more than 20,000 customers in Massachusetts as part of a settlement, following allegations that the company used misleading ads about long-term cable contracts, the state attorney general said Tuesday.

Comcast owes Massachusetts customers $700K in refunds for 'misleading' advertising - CNET

Comcast, which allegedly used deceptive ads to promote long-term cable contracts, will pay $700,000 in refunds and cancel debts for customers as part of a settlement.

Comcast failed to adequately disclose fees that typically increased customers’ monthly bills by 40 percent above the advertised price.

For example, the investigation found that in a series of advertisements, Comcast advertised a $99 lock-in rate but did not adequately disclose equipment costs and mandatory monthly fees associated with the long-term contract that would add to a customer’s monthly bill.

These customers were required to pay early termination fees of up to $240 to cancel long-term contracts, even when they downgraded Comcast services to a more affordable monthly package.
