| extortion, plain and simple This is extortion. I have been paying the higher, non-catv price for comcast internet since I have had it. Comcast has simply decided that they are going to charge the equivalent of basic cable TV service to all of their customers, both TV and internet. The increase is exactly equal to the cost of basic cable in whatever area we are talking about.
I have been called by a comcast rep and encouraged to get basic cable - I was told that I would essentially get basic cable for "free", because the combined cost of basic cable plus cable internet was exactly the same as what I was already paying for internet.
Yes, I do want high speed internet.
No, I don't have any other choice (no DSL for me, no cable competitors in my area).
This is the kind of behaviour you get with an unregulated monopoly. |

Fort Washington, PA | I signed up for basic cable just to get the discount. I now have cable tv, satellite tv, and cable modem. All for a low $150 a month!

i am in the same boat with Comcast. I started with at&t and now Comcast came in and bought them out of the cable biz. Now they are trying to extract more money out of me too. This should be illegal. |
