Re: DVR or Computer

But all he or she was railing against were "Triple Play" and related bundle packages; he or she is probably well aware that FiOS and others are available standalone.

The topic news article is about a package that apparently will ONLY be available as part of an incumbent cableco's service offering -- a bundle deal -- and so his or her post appears to be on point, and not at all ignorant.

 I would guess because the tripleplay discounts disappear as you start to unbundle, and/or you may be locked to a "first year" discount contract, and/or you may be reticent to move your phone number and/or endure the migration hassles.

But I can't read the poster's mind.
