They're obviously able to generate bills for all customers, so they clearly know what fees are being passed on to consumers. Now, it's very likely that those values may not be exposed to their sales/marketing systems used to provide quotes to consumers, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't be. DISCLAIMER! One of my first experiences was for a company that created SaaS billing software (founded just before SaaS became a term) for telecoms, so we had to deal with all manners of rates, tiers, tapers, discounts, taxes, fees, etc. that all varied by location and one feature we provided was being able to give the exact combination of all of those things that would apply to a given geographic area (typically zip code). It was fantastically complicated.
