I mean, they're still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they're new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don't cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.
And if you don't do it after 5 years you're paying an extra $420 a year as compared to the 1 year pricing.
Honestly it's insane. Esp the you still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

And there it is. Fuck xfinity/comcast
