I live in the country. My choices are Comcast, sattelite internet that gets DSL-esque speeds in ideal conditions and poo poo latency, wireless DSL that only works if nothing is interfering with the tower and gets somewhere between 56k and DSL speeds when it works, and 56k dial up.

Good thing literally everyone who wants internet service also wants cable TV and land line phone service.

A number that is still rather insignificant.

Of course it's a small amount when the providers purposefully gently caress over people who don't go for the bundles. That's the point people are trying to make, they already gently caress over the consumer in every legal way they can.

The TV is only "free" in comparison to the unbundled prices, which are artificially inflated to force people into bundles. That's why the charts posted earlier are relevant. If you compare the bundle prices to the price of broadband internet in other first world countries, you're not getting "free" TV, you're getting TV for an extra cost whether you want it or not.
