    I don't own a TV. I can not purchase cable modem only service from road runner, they "generously" package it with basic cable.

    When installing the cable, they even insisted on putting a splitter between the modem and the wall ... to save them a trip next time.

    Perhaps this is only true in Hawaii. Perhaps they are too lazy to separate the two. Perhaps I am a freak for not owning a TV. Perhaps this is true for many people who don't know it.
