Seriously though, would there be any reason that if you got cable TV service that you couldn't get cable internet service?
Well, I think there are actually services and stations a cable provider needs to put out in order to provide internet on a cable run. Simply having a copper wire doesn't automatically allow it to act as an ISP...until the cable provider has made the investment.

By similar logic, I could also wonder why everyone doesn't have access to DSL...seeing as how nearly every home is phone-wired anyways.
