Comment on Please, keep paying $80 a month for cable so I can enjoy cheap TVparent

Because of how cable companies often price their internet-only package. I think it's about $10/month less than internet + TV, in my case. So I strongly suspect I'm helping subsidize things that aren't related to my internet usage.

Where I live if you get the basic TV package with your internet it's cheaper than internet alone. The reason is some of the channels (like HSN, for instance) pay your cable company to be broadcast.
