cable internet price reasoning The reason that cable carriers charge more for cable internet subscribers who don't have cable t.v. than they do for those subscribers with cable t.v. and internet is that they can't split the signal (meaning that if you buy cable internet you get cable t.v. with it {not intentionally} they don't want you to know that). They could split the signal if they wanted to but it would include adding a filter onto the lines at each house that just has cable internet. To reiterate the higher price for the non-bundle is their way of getting money out of you for a service you get without knowing about it in case you decide to split that cable line to your t.v. and modem. Please keep this on the down-low though, don't go blasting it all over the internet lol. |
