Our service with Comcast is DATA ONLY. Got no arguments on the order when I placed it. Just data only at the promo rate of $39.99 a month for a year (something like that). I have a single cable segment running from the pole to my cable modem. (A special installation to my network closet). My d/l speeds have been over 30Mbps while u/l has been on the order of 4Mbps. A far cry better than the 512Kbps up we had under AT&T! We do daily u/l of data to XM Satellite Radio for program content so this was a big bonus in the move! We also stream a ton of content to flat panels. <BR>

We don't have cable TV nor satellite TV. If it ain't on PBS or open air digital; then we don't watch it. Dumped Netflix when they got dumped by Stars. Comcast does send us junk mail on getting service (and I believe that we do have basic cable service with the data) but I refuse to wire it to the panels. The kids don't need it and I don't want it. <BR>

You can convince them to unbundle with quite a few no's and perhaps a bit of rudeness (hmmm strong insistence, really!)... I've gotten the highest internet speed package, but only basic cable, and then added hbo, but without anything else. I also helps to find a local number though.
