John, I also live in California and I have to disagree with your statement that people who use cable don't care about the cost. I care! A lot. I'm retired and on a limited income so I weighed the cost very carefully when I changed to broadband - Comcast. I took their package deal and now I pay less for phone, TV, and Internet connection than I did when I got them separately. And believe me, even if I were paying a little more, I would never go back to dial up. One click and I am online. No waiting. No freezing. No really slow days. It is amazing. I am still awed every time I log on.
