I don't get your argument. You seem to be saying that if the internet-only plan is made too expensive then customers will subscribe to the not very much more expensive TV+internet plan. Isn't that what they want customers to do?


No, in this hypothetical the net neutrality advocates have won decisively and the cable companies are in the business of building "dumb pipes."


So you're proposing there is no TV+internet package available from the ISP, they offer only internet and you get your TV from someone like Netflix.

If the ISPs at this point charge a price for just internet service that makes offering that service profitable, what are you expecting customers to do? Go without internet service?
