Cable internet service is charged separately from your TV service. Although they share the same coax exiting your house, you can operate both services simultaneously and independently.

To Trey, for sure you can spilt your cable TV line inhouse and receive both signals .... This much has been tried .. but what I d'ont know if we can have both signals at the same time probably not .. like I said getting cable modem service is as elusive as getting ASDL service. Lots of tentative dates but no deliverables .. I will ask my contacts at the east end of city to see how far along they got with there testing.. of cable modems Also worth mentioning is corporate modem cable accounts .. there has been no market penetration at all by (Videotron cable TV) nor have there been any major accounts landed for local cable telephone service which the (CRTC ie FCC) gave them permission to offer as a service. Bell Canada got in exchange permission to distribute pay tv via 2 wire copper + fiber opt .. a pilot project was started in Quebec and was successful but discontinued because something was wrong with the pipes... Hmmmmmmm At any rate my contention has always been the telcos W'ont move on asdl until the competition is staring them in the face, in this case cable is not making any aggressive moves... by the way word is product development and deployment at the telcos is way down because of y2k scheduling and deployment more to come in the future Made some big bucks again on WSTL 20% return in two days almost recouped ... hope the negatives on the tread learned a good lesson in the past two days .. chow
