I'm the last one who would be considered and advocate for the
Cable Companies but . . . suppose you wanted to hook-up another
water heater - you would expect to pay for the extra juice.
The cable signal is not as easily "meter-able" but you would
be using more cable signal.
I DO agree that often the extra charge seems excessive.
