    You have that in several European countries. I subscribed to only internet service. However , in many European countries the telecoms work as an oligopoly and sometimes as a cartel. And afraid of losing money with the internet only packages, they make it intentionally less appealing because for more 5€ you get all the other services and sometimes with better internet.

    Regulators work like crap in my country

      Comcast even offered cheaper internet if I bundled with tv. The entire package was cheaper then internet alone.

      I still went with internet only, at a monthly price. Comcast is evil and would have found a way to make the bundle cost skyrocket eventually

      This is how it works in Canada too, but now there aren’t any Independent ISPs anymore since they all got bought up by the larger Telcos.
