I don't want a pots or wireless phone! Just Internet access!
But I am forced to buy some sort of phone service! |

... or be forced to pay more for the same service:
The prices in this site »promo.yahoo.com/att/packages.html
are different if you don't have phone service with AT&T.
BASIC DSL is NOT available on a dry loop.
EXPRESS DSL costs $45 on a dry loop.
PRO DSL is $60 on a dry loop.
ELITE DSL is NOT available on a dry loop. |

I have Insight (Soon to be Comcast) cable service. Basic, plain ol' service and it is $48 per month. Their web site advertises it for $30 but it is only if I buy one more of their other services.
I showed their folks that what I presently use from other vendors is a better value than theirs (whether mere price or price + function to be apples:apples).
They agreed...BUT...I am stuck and paying $48.
They all want in your pocket...only question is what path they will travel to get there.

Ever hear of discounts for buying multiple services from the same vendor. It has been standard business practice for 200 years. And bundling is all that is.

Not true I have Insight Cable modem only for years it's 44.99 and it's the same price without TV. If you bundle it with Cable you get a 10.00 discount on Internet which brings it down to 34.99.
You can get the $30.00 a month for a year without Tv or any service if you ask nicely. But it's only for new customers usually. |

My point was that companies drive their discounts to whatever combination of things they want to sell and I used the lure of a lower cable bill being available to me only if I would buy something else that I already have for a lower cost from a different vendor.
Was I to be swayed because you compare your cable modem with my cable television?
Uh, it didn't work.
