You know what this will ultimately spur? Term contracts from Comcast or cable in general with early termination penalty fees.

You are already seeing this creep into uncumbant providers. Qwest recently offerend a long distance package that you can use ala cart but it requires a 1 year agreement to get the discounted price.

I only wish there was some competition here in So. Cal. (come on AT&T - get your fiber rolling). Even if I don't purchase it, competition will at least bring prices down (for a while).

Comcast would rather have customers at a somewhat reduced rate (still profitable, otherwise they'd pullout), than no customer at all.
