Re: Atleast it hasn't gone up.

Comcast's HSI is extremely profitable for them so there's no reason to raise prices. They have also cut costs for themselves by getting rid of UseNet and implementing caps and throttling.

Finally they partially subsidize HSI with income from their TV packages so in theory when your cable TV rates go up, Comcast gets more money for HSI.

Actually it's true. That's why Comcast charges more for HSI if you don't sign up for the TV service.

Yeah, but what about the golden goo in that guy's shoe who outruns the land speed record vehicle on the salt flats? That ridiculous f'n bullshit doesn't come cheap!
