| Cable force-bundling? Dana, please understand that maybe your cable provider is allowed to force-bundle CATV along with your cablemodem service, but this isn't the case everywhere. I pay $42.99/month for 4x384 as a non-CATV customer and no contracts.
And since its the county governing authority that franchises the cable operator, blame them for not meeting your needs. Cheers. |

I have yet to see a Cable Co were I've lived, worked, or visited that didn't force bundle without a heavy price penalty.

You are absolutely the exception to the rule. Forced bundling is the norm, not the other way around. I am sick and tired of having to pay for basic cable, so that I can have a cable modem. DSL, not available still. That is most likely the reason for the forced bundling, because they know they can get away with it. There isn't another choice and I don't live in BFE. I live in the city. |
