Re: Cable does it too

Actually if you paid attention when they first came out with the "bundle" you would have noticed that before the bundle the normal price for HSI was approx $42. After they came out with their bundling scheme the price was $42 with the bundle and a lot more without it, some places were as much as $60 or $70. Now how can it be a discount for the bundle when it's the same damn price as it was before?

Actually, I'm quite familiar with the prices. In the MN region, the prices were as I explained them. ATT BB, when they took over Media One, had a price for HSI, which was actually about $50 a month for what ever the node would allow. Speeds were ALL OVER THE PLACE. (To old McDonald) "With a 5 Meg here, a 1 meg there, he a K there a meg all over the place your speeds were.. " Then, ATT finally set it to 1.5 when they ditched Road Runner and went to @home. When Comcast took over, it was $52.00 stand alone and discounted to $42.00 as a bundle.

This is one system that specifically states "Included bundle discount for cable tv customers" - Some systems state a $10 charge for NOT having cable which is why some people state it's a penalty.

And for the record, HSI was ALWAYS discounted in a bundle in the hsd1.mn.comcast.net area even when it was a one way modem service.
