These are houses with multiple computer-savvy users who probably use the internet to watch TV instead of signing up for cable. I would say $130 a month without a contract for a connection capable of easily streaming HD video is well worth the savings over needing cable TV and internet on top of that.

Time Warner does not offer 20 Mbps @ $29.00/Month. Even if they do, it is NOT asynchronous and they will cap it and only allow occasional usage at those speeds. Cable company offers discounts for one year terms and if you keep the service beyond that it reverts to a higher rate (at least 40% or more). To me that is an considered as an agreement (i.e. a mutually agreed contract). Looks like you two may be cable company employees. Time Warner does not offer 20 Mbps @ $29.00/Month.
