I've had a cable modem with Comcast for about three years, now, without cable tv. Although when I started, the monthly rate was $29.95 and now it's gone up to $59.95!! It's a lot per month but I can't imagine living without my broadband. DSL is cheaper here - but very spotty. Plus, the only DSL provider in New Mexico is Qwest and I can't stand them. Comcast has been very reliable and has provided sufficient customer service, IMO. But like Qwest, they are the only provider for cable services in the state; so if they go any higher in pricing, I'm screwed. Wasn't the 1996 Telecom Act supposed to promote competition? Heh heh heh - yeah right.
