If anything, the relatively flat cost of Cable broadband shows that it not cable infrastructure is culprit but Media companies like Viacom, Disney, and ESPN and add to that the NFL wanting a bigger share of the revenue pie. I guess somebody has to pay for the Multi-million star contracts. Still, I cannot see a logical reason for the drama because the cable bill goes up $3.00. If it is that bad, I would suggest unsubscribing and reading a book.
