Re: if you don't want it, we won't force you to buy it.

It isn't just at&t.

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.
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.

I'm uncertain which part of what I said falls under your "not true" assertion.

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.
