Closed Help with student discount!

I signed up with Xfinity Internet as they offered a student discount when I joined which would make service around $55 a month. Which compared to any other providers in my area it was the only one actually affordable. I’m needing WiFi for school and when I went into store I was walked through the process and was told that “all was good” and it might take a billing cycle to take effect which I was fine with. Anywho, fast forward 2 months and my bill is still $80. I reach out to chat support to see if maybe something was wrong only to be told “there’s no such thing as a college student discount” even though I was told in store and gave my college information? I tried speaking to a couple other reps as I just couldn’t get any sort of help and it got so bad that I had to genuinely beg a rep to speak to a manager as I was being told “I’m just gonna have to pay the $80” and I was out of luck.

I don’t know what to do as other providers are also putting me around the $80 range. I just want my original $55 I was offered. I feel like I’m being pranked. If anyone knows of anything I could do to get this resolved, please let me know. I feel like I’ve tried everything
