[LUNI] Cable Modems...

[Mike Scott]

They all do it.  That Commie-Cast triple play (Digital cable, Internet,
Phone) for $99/month isn't permanent either.  They suck you in with the
teaser rates and then hope you don't notice the increase, since there
will probably be regular rate hikes to softwn you up along the way.
