$15/month?? That's nothing. When Time Warner first offered cable modems here(it wasn't until late 2001) it was $79.95 if you didn't have cable TV and then $85 months later. I can't fathom the terror that they must have received bacause of that. I'm hoping that they made their decision to drop that policy because customer service reps threatened to quit because they were sick of getting harassed. That tells me the systems works.
