1 service to 3 houses is 3 install appointments, 3 cables run to the pedestal - taking up space where houses with 3 services each could be running, 3 bills sent out each month.

Logical thinking would dictate that one of those situations would clearly cost more. I will leave it to you to guess which one that might be.
Well considering the $30 connection fee I pay to have Shaw come out to my single house it shouldn't matter if their connecting 3 services or 1. Yes your analogy of 1 house VS 3 is a fair point, but their billing me to come out anyways and all the billing is online.

As I said I get the bundle pricing, I just wish they'd discount the package as a whole instead of jacking up the price on the individual services.
