You need to check with Comcast how much they will charge for just internet.

For me, about 2/3's of the bill, according to them, is for internet.

The cable portion of the bill is relatively small.

I doubt that is the case, but since I would need internet in any case, they can charge me a fortune. There is a definite monopoly. No one else wants to go to the huge expense of laying new cable to bring us an alternative here in Hanover County.

In much heavier populated western Henrico County, years ago, Verizon ran FIOS cable to compete with Comcast.

When the BTN began, they had similar commercials to what the ACCN has now. ** -- Old Line Hokie 01/09/2020 12:34PM

OK, I didn't remember that ** -- SteveInBaltimore 01/09/2020 4:27PM

Which is why, IMO, the ACCN revenue stream is never talked about. -- Atlee Hokie 01/09/2020 06:20AM

It is natural.... -- 2hhoop3 01/10/2020 09:31AM

I have Comcast. So I didn't even see said commercials. -- Maroon Baboon 01/09/2020 11:24AM

There are some hidden costs when you get TV from cable -- LaneRat 01/10/2020 6:24PM

Yes. I will probably keep the internet. ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/10/2020 11:08AM

When the BTN and SECN were first launched, did they have similar ads? -- VTHokie2000 01/09/2020 10:12AM

My first thought too. ** -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2020 12:13PM

I wouldn't be surprised if the ACCN is the redheaded stepchild -- VTHokie2000 01/09/2020 12:16PM

Like you I am not interested in watching another conference's network -- VTHokie2000 01/09/2020 12:30PM

I wouldn't doubt ESPN has a favorite network, and it isn't the ACCN -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2020 12:33PM

I wonder if that is a reason the BTN and P12N decided to not get -- VTHokie2000 01/09/2020 12:38PM
