Why is it so hard to get Internet service without cable and phone?

Posted in Economy , wtf

I don’t want phone service in my house, I have a cell phone for that. And I don’t want cable TV, I have netflix and sports for entertainment. Why do all the service providers demand to sell me phone and cable? I can refuse them, but then they just raise their rate on Internet. Oh that $33 a month only counts if you buy two other services at $33 a month.

So comcast, you want $99, that’s what you’re telling me, otherwise it’s $60 + $7 fee + $2.25 “tax” for the Internet by itself? Basically what they’re doing is extortion. My internet connection is my little corner store, and they’ll knock it over if I don’t pay up. Everything they advertise is just marketing gimmicks to make it look like you can get a service for a low price, but there’s really no such thing because it’s not an individual option.
