If people actually want Internet-only TV subscriptions, the market will force Comcast to lower their prices.
Perhaps yes, eventually, but it could be years. The market for high-speed internet connections in most locations is, at best, a duopoly, due to the high fixed cost of installing infrastructure.
By analogy, think of what unreasonableness the electrical company could get away with if they weren't regulated. The market for high-speed internet connectivity isn't that bad, but it's certainly not a free market in the same sense that pizza delivery is.
