Forgot to mention the $12-$15 that companies like Comcast charge for not having TV. $12-$15 more AND they give you a slower speed.
I believe this was covered in the article. One list of prices is for HSI only and the other list clearly states the prices if you have other services

As with most providers, bundling two services (Comcast Cable TV or Comcast Digital Phone) can net you savings:

# Economy: 384kbps/384kbps : $29.95 (not available for new subscription)
# Performance: 6Mbps/384kbps : $42.95
# Performance: 6Mbps/768kbps : $42.95 (select areas)
# Performance Plus: 8Mbps/768kbps : $52.95
# Blast!: 16Mbps/1Mbps : $52.95 (select areas)
# Blast!: 16Mbps/2Mbps : $52.95 (select areas)

No, it wasn't.

Comcast HSI is almost $60 a month for their slowest non "economy" plan. The $42.95 price is if you have their TV.

Again, from the article: The first list WITHOUT VIDEO OR CDV

# Economy: 384 kbps/384 kbps : $39.95 (not advertised)
# Performance Lite: 4Mbps/384 kbps : $42.95
# Performance: 6Mbps/384kbps-768kbps : $59.95
# Performance Plus: 8Mbps/768 kbps : $67.95
# Blast!: 16Mbps/1Mbps : $67.95 (select areas)
# Blast!: 16000 kbps / 2000 kbps : $67.95 (select areas)
Karl didn't mention "fee" because I think he was counting on the reader to be able to add/subtract to compare the difference between the two lists.

1 edit		 Well then his pricing is off a bit.

$57.95 is what I would pay for HSI only and I would receive 4Mbps.
