Lincolnshire, IL | Kind of reminds me of............. About ten years ago or so some gas stations (Amoco?) began charging a 4~6 cent per gallon "premium" when a customer paid for their gas by credit card. When a government body attempted to pursue legal action over this practice, the stations quickly removed the wording "credit card premium" and switched it to "cash discount". End result: legal challenges dropped, and nothing changed for the consumers.
I suspect there are enough loopholes for Comcast to skirt this one, regardless of the ethics (or lack thereof). |

Jacksonville, FL | Yes Comcast can somehow easily shrug it off. Lots of companies do this bundling and they do it because it is more cost effective. Selling stuff in bundles at cheaper prices makes them more attractive.
I agree that the discrepancy between the bundled package and the cable internet only service is rather large. They might as well just sell the bundle to make people happier(or not for those loud mouths). The majority that are complaining are ones that never had this pricing imposed on them before (eg. ex-AT&T Broadband customers).
