EARTH | Comcast is the same They force you to buy basic cable.... or just charge you the $15 basic cable would have been. |

EARTH | Actually, looking at their website, there are some super-cheap plans that are local-only or don't include minutes at all that are around $15 or less. So basically they are just doing what Comcast already did. |

I did a cost analysis of Comcast a few years ago for a job...
The cost for basic cable vs the fee they charge if you dont have TV service is the same (I think NOT having TV is a buck more).
They do this not only as a money grab but it saves them $ because a tech doesn't have to come out to your house to put a filter on your line to block out the TV if you ONLY subscribe to internet service.
Its the same way with Phone Service. I have everything they offer and its cheaper for me to KEEP the phone then not to have it. (essentially the phone works out to be free..) |
