In 2008, TWC spent roughly $1 billion on video content and only $33 million on high-speed data (30x more spent on content). So the infrastructure cost per subscriber to TWC is negligible. Also worth noting, TWC made about $2.7 billion off cable TV subscriptions, compared to $145 million from advertising. So while its true that they do "double dip", its fair to say that monthly subscriptions are paying the content bills, not advertising.
