Here in NoVA (Comcast former Adelpha territory), the future is now. I used to have internet-only service (there is little on TV that I care about). A bit over a year and a half ago, we added basic cable to the service. Total additional cost per month to go from Internet-only to Internet-plus-TV-bundle (same speed) was about $4. -r
