At home, I had cable TV and cable Internet service through the same company (happened to be Comcast) and I got a major discount because I was subcribing to two services. Is there anything like that here? I live in Seoul.

Yes and no, but more on the no than the former.
Where do you live in Seoul?

I did that with the ABN company in Bundang. I suspect it's pretty commonplace in Seoul.

Here's a funny thing. If you get the cheap "I don't want cable TV" option from Thrunet, you will find that it has cable TV on it anyway. I discovered this by accident and every time during a support call, I mentioned it to the woman on the phone, she insisted that I did not have it. She wouldn't take yes for an answer so I gave in and shut up. I thought as they insisted I did not have it despite my admission that I did that the loss was theirs - whatever loss it is to them cos we hardly ever watch it.

A simple splitter and cable means that you can get both cable TV and Internet from the same wire.

I gave up on the cable TV + Internet idea because I couldn't find any of these deals that people have posted about.

So ix-nay on cable TV, I'm just going for Internet. I made an appointment with Megapass to come connect me next week. It's going to be 44,000/month including box rental and tax, plus 30,000 for installation. This is for Megapass Lite. That's quite expensive IMO, but I found their phone number easily and they spoke English. It seemed like the easiest way, though I'm a bit upset about the price.

I guess there are different deals depending on where you live and when you sign up. (I live in Itaewon). How do I get in contact with these companies? What are their phone numbers? Do they speak English?
