Just yesterday there was a related article, and I posted a similar comment, but I was right to be down-voted, to a degree.
Capitalism is about growth and competition. When there's only one cable to your home, privately owned AND they act as a middleman for content, you do not have meaningful choice.
The way to combat this is to only use that cable for internet. Ideally, there would still be competition (I'm very lucky to have cable and fiber to my home...) and go elsewhere for content.
That being said, fees that are not included in the advertised price, are not actually government mandated taxes/fees but are added on to your bill and misrepresented?

They should be fined for this behavior.
