You don't have to, but most people do.
I supplied my own modem. I see no fee. I haven't had TV service since 2007.
I have Comcast and my bill is $60/mo (total) for 250Mbps down, 10Mbps up (and get that reliably). When it's about to go back to $90-100/mo in May (promotional price expires), I will give them a 15-minute call to get back down to that $60/mo for another year.
My parents on the other hand have a TV package, internet, and phone through them, while renting a set top box and their modem. They pay somewhere around $200/mo. I've informed them of their options (and offered to set it up for them), but they elect to not care.
- tenebrisalietum 7y agoI had TV then switched to a similar Internet only plan with Comcast. I adopted a strategy of telling them I have no TV anymore (and I disconnected my TV boxes before calling) and need the Internet for work only. I had to politely repeat myself a few times and decline a couple offers of bundled packages, but they switched me over. The experience wasn't too bad. I expected the caller to try to upsell me but I just said "No thanks, I don't have a TV anyway and really just need the Internet for my job." But, people who leave themselves open by telling the rep something like "I don't like what's on TV" or "TV is too expensive" will probably have trouble. They really want you to have any type of TV subscription.
