ok, we have 65+21+26+5-21=96

so, your cable-modem service must cost 96-79=$17???
either:
1. you need to spend some of that $79 on a calculator
2. cable modem service is underpriced, and will soon collapse under its
   own weight
3. you didn't factor other costs in

please explain:

1. what was the change to your cable bill when you added the cable modem
   service (remember to include whether or not you dropped high-end movie
   channels to keep the cost down)
2. what you now pay in transit fees (ISP costs)

thanks,
Sam
