Hard to believe...

"Only 15% Sign Up For Triple Play"

I find it hard to believe that the other 85% can actually FIND non-TriplePlay pricing. I've searched Comcast prices for just an internet connection, nothing else included, and it's not exactly easy to locate that info.

Now I'd be more likely to believe this if the headline read: "Only 15% Sign Up For Triple Play, The Other 85% End Up With It By Accident".

Find it? Comcast stuffs your mailbox full of smarmy fliers about it every week if you don't have it...how can you avoid knowing about it?

My personal favorite is the "savings". If you order every freaking phone feature then yeah, you might save a few bucks a month, but if you are a sane consumer and don't bite on the ups and extras (who really needs all that crap anyway?) and your phone bill is more like $20 a month, their "savings" ends up costing you 50% more than what you are paying now, plus you have to buy more services (like a digital premium package) to even be eligible.

Savings my ass. The cable companies have never given anyone anything. They learned their lessons well from the pre-breakup Bell pricing schedules. Why anyone puts up with this is a study for some business school thesis.

I get tons of Comcast flyers. But none of them ever mention stand-alone internet connection pricing. They only advertise Triple-Play, which I am not interested in.

Ah, my mis-read then. Sorry. I thought you meant you couldn't find the triple-play. Their a la carte pricing is a laughable farce.
