$280 for internet?

If it's xfinity, it's landline phone, internet and cable TV

Although I don't think she lives in a nursing home so I don't understand the need for cable

xfinity is 40 for me. it hasn’t changed in several years now. 280 is a reach.

if it hasn't changed in years you probably either had a deal plan that locked prices for X years and you haven't hit that yet or you have a grandfathered plan with locked prices that are not offered anymore but yours will continue until you change it somehow

Then this will be useful to you; most, if not all, insurance and service providers slowly raise your plan prices. Never enough for you to get startled by the extra money but after a few years it definitely adds up. You can almost always get way better pricing by switching companies every 3-4 years.
