If it is similar to Metrocast Cable for Meredith, which has a walk-in office in Belmont, there are additional monthly fees for the black box and clicker and local town fees which bring it up another ten dollars to about 80-dollars.
Maybe the cable companies are aware that the two dish satellite services, DirecTV and Dish Network are promoting their two year service; $30/1st year and automatically raised up to 60/month second year and every year thereafter and simply do not want prospective buyers to know how much more their cable service costs, at least for the first year.
A credit card is required to start up a satellite dish account. A credit card is not needed to start up a cable account. So, that automatically locks out a big number of people who do not have a credit card, and makes them pay more for monthly tv service when they go with cable.
Going with DSL-FairPoint for $45/month and DirecTV $30/month could be one way to go?

32.9 million dollar man: DirecTV Prez Mike White definitely has something to smile about!
