but try to get the broadband via cable without being a Comcast customer. They tell you it can't be done.
That's not correct. you can get it, it just costs more. |

I stand corrected. Just found the information on the Comcast website. The cost is $15 above the price for comcast cable subscribers (a 30% premium.) Now I wonder if the Telcos are allowed to charge such a premium or is it the same price. Have to do some more research. |

With telcos, you have to purchase their basic phone service for the most part. Sure, there are "naked" DSL deals coming out, but the only ones offering that is Qwest. So, with Comcast, it is right about the same.
This bundled pricing is going to continue. I know some people don't want a basic phone line or basic cable TV because they already have a cell phone as a main line or a dish for television. However, if you want these services, right now you have to pay for the phone or cable. Either that or pay a penalty or you can't get the service at all (in the case of most phone companies). For the most part, the penalty is more than a basic service. Basic cable is 13.50 in my area.
