It's the same with Adelphia too SB. When I got the high speed internet, I told them I just wanted HBO only, which is what I had before, but they told me that I needed to choose one of the packages (I have the silver platinum as well). Although I can't remember exactly why, they blamed HBO saying something like they won't allow just "HBO" anymore, and that I had to get a package. My bill too, has gone up at least 10 in the past year or so.

They sure have "control" of us don't they. I wish too that some good competition would get them where it hurts.
