I had the same experience. Before the association switched over and got the internet provided through another company we got everything through RCN (home phone, basic cable, and internet). It was about $120-30 a month. After the switch, we had no choice but to get internet through the association. Our association fee went down. However the next bill I got from RCN was over $500 for the following month. When I went into RCN to see if it could possibly be true they said they had to consider I was no longer receiving internet through them. I could not figure out why it would be more when I was actually receiving less service and I got an answering regarding "bundling" and blah, blah, blah. Then they found they could give me a "deal" starting the next month that was about $220 (includes HBO) but I would have to take basic internet with the package - which I was already receiving through my association and could not get out of. The entire thing seems like such a scam.
