  • skewer324, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3This only approaches moral if they stopped charging entirely for their Internet service. To be double dipping for subpar service that's laughable compared to other countries is beyond reprehensible. They should be ashamed as human beings.

    But even as it is, they have no "just internet" option. (At least, they don't where I live.) You can get "just Internet" for $45 with a $10 dollar service charge or their basic cable package that includes Internet for $55. Seriously, they market that here with a straight face.
