I called them and the lady said If I want them back then I have to pay an additional $18. Is this right? Was only the first month free or something? I'm already paying $7 for the box and $7 for the channels. Another $18 is horrendous!

Comcast has different pricing in different areas. Check the local topic for your area for details specific to you.
