I don't understand the "harass people to sign up" comment, it is called door-to-door sales and in the "old days" it was very common.

I wonder why they have to harass people into signing?

They have their sales guy go into small areas and harass people to sign up, they spent so much to build out, they need those people to sign up.

They have their sales guy go into small areas and harass people to sign up, they spent so much to build out, they need those people to sign up. Its nothing new, and you'll see a TWC truck at 3-5 of those homes once the promo ends.
