said by tmc8080:Well.. if cable companies wanted to steal these AT&T subscribers, they could just not surcharge for having internet only.. they could do this as a "lite tier" package (6-12mbit)that would still beat dsl but not be full cablemodem speeds at 16+megabits, and have more universal coverage than AT&T, so they'd lose nothing by gaining these subscribers.
Cable companies wont ever do that. TWC I belive will only allow low speed cable HSI when its bundled in a triple play. Having a low speed and low price package will seriously canabalize their HSI revenues since all the joe six packs who dont understand speed will automatically switch to the cheaper plan, plus a cable co can keep their memebers hostage in no-DSL areas on high price/high speed plans.
