My phone company offers cable and broadband internet and phone, but not for free. It's called Windstream and they bought out the local telco, an independent company that already had a good cable TV option covering about half of the county, so they continued it.
I switched to their cable a year ago, from having Time-Warner cable for 25 years, and haven't regretted it one bit. These people know how to do it and it's much better in every way than Time-Warner cable. They still offer analog cable with digital local channels including the sub-channels. No box required and it works with my old TVs.
I didn't opt for the cable modem phone line since it didn't work in a power outage and also probably wouldn't work with rotary phones, which I still use. I kept my POTS line. I told someone I got the "grampaw" package.
What they did do for free was install it, including burying a new line from the pole to the back of my house. My picture is much better and more reliable than Time-Warner and they have enough sense not to put the digital channels on the same channel number as over the air. With Time-Warner, the channels fought and sometimes I had TWO channels with the same number.
