Comcast and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."

Aww … poor little ISPs.

It’s not actually about listing the fees. They’re worried that if they have to list the fees, customers will realize they’re paying 19.99 a month to rent a router, or are getting charged for a land line they didn’t ask for.

Could you explain this more?

ESPN is probably paying cable companies to air their shows over their cables to customers with a subscription to ESPN.

Yea… Comcast is really bad about that. When I had them a decade back, I made sure to being my own hardware.
