Those are internet only prices. Bundle tv and/phone service and they go down, just like every other telco or cable company.

Yes, but the internet-only price is sky-high, more expensive than other cable companies' similar speed tiers. That said, the option for high speeds is nice. $68 for 15/1 vs. $63 for 8/2...guess I'd have to get the highest-end package to make it worth my while if I was to go onto WOW.

Seriously though, $41/month for the lowest tier of speed? That's almost as high as the standard tier for the likes of TWC (7/512). Pricing is squarely above DSL.

And the majority of their subs subscribe to at least 2 services thus making the price cheaper.

Unfortunately it doesnt make it cheaper when you cant afford 2 of their services.

Then you shouldn't be getting internet at all. But the fact remains, more customers have more than one service.

umm, people want to pick and choose what they can afford.

It's a good thing that when i go to the market to buy milk that im not forced to buy bread to keep my total cost down.

If they can't afford two, then they really can't afford one then either. The price different between having one and two is so little it's not even funny. But then again, the majority of the people out there live beyond their means anyways.
