I know Comcast will let you have just internet with out the TV but the
price, as are all their prices, is way way up there but I think they're a
rip off, but in my case they're the only game in town.

I believe the cable companies use them, mostly, as they still do have strict
broadcast basic channels, plus the analog with the other stuff not normally
found over the air. My curiosity is, if I told them I don't want cable TV
but do want Internet, what do they do? I guess they'd have to some how pass
the higher frequency of the Internet stuff and nothing below, some how.
