Not at all. I pointed out specifically where the money was going on my actual bills. The only thing left to opinion is whether it's a waste of money, and since it's my money (and I therefore decide whether the utility value is worth the price) I get to make that call. Duplication of services is where I see a waste of money.

Internet is Internet; Amazon.com doesn't care how you connect to their servers as long as you buy something when you do. Comparing one Internet service to another is perfectly legitimate.

Not seeing the relevance there but whatever.
