About time. I once went to sign up for internet with what looked like a great rate, let’s say $30/month (i don’t remember exactly). After fifteen minutes on the phone as we are wrapping up the agent says “ok, so do you authorize me to charge your credit card 47.99/month?” I reply that i thought it was $30, to which she says taxes (unfortunately it’s standard practice to exclude taxes in US advertised prices, but at least the amount is not under their control) plus a $12/month “delivery fee”, to which I replied that I’d like to pick up my internet access myself thank you , so can we waive that one? I ended up hanging up and just finding a provider with a slightly higher price but no BS. If you want to charge more for modems and other optional stuff, fine, but when you start adding fees that aren’t really distinguishable from the product itself, you merit this kind of regulation. I pray, please go after car dealerships next.
