Found this out from a friend in the us but not researched it.

But according to him cable companies in the us just do broadband and tv and not phone so it isnt triple play. The big difference that this make's is cable isp's have to make sure that their service is better since it is so much easier for customers to move to dsl as the phone line is already in place, whilst here many customer's wont move simply because of the hassle involved and other restrictions. US also has opened up cable networks with competition between cable isp's, the result is they have better packages offered and very few have caps.
