I am now informed that each channel is broadcast on three channels on cable. One in analog. One in digital. And third in high definition. For each upgrade they charge more.

Meanwhile broadcast TV broadcasts everything only in HD - and for free.

If Comcast cannot provide full bandwidth to all customers, then they are wasting bandwidth to increase profits. Instead they want to restrict bandwidth and even charge the Content Providers (ie YouTube, Netflix, Hulu) a surcharge.

All done because they have no competition - having bought the politicians they need.
