***(will not be reflected on first 3 bills)
ETA: here's their current promotion: https://i.imgur.com/TfwsdQv.png https://i.imgur.com/TfwsdQv.png $20 for service, $20.49 in fees! fees are 102% of the supposed price!
- breadwinner 2y agoMy Internet provider charges $50 per month exactly, and even the taxes are included! How cool is that? They aren't doing that out of goodness of their heart though. It is due to competition from T-Mobile 5G internet, which also has this policy.
- fn-mote 2y agoAgreed. The FCC should act even more broadly. Why doesn't it?
- ssl-3 2y agoWell, at least we're now in a modern enlightened time when there's a standard FCC-required Broadband Facts "label" that can be referred to. It does make it easier to compare. It still seems kind of new and I can't find one for Spectrum (my ISP) or I'd share it here myself, but: I pay exactly $59.95 per month, as the service is advertised in my area, and that's that. There are no itemized fees/taxes on my bill. I don't remember the last time I had an ISP with weird fees associated with it -- it seems like it has had to have been around a decade now, at least. (Cellular, too: My cheapskate all-you-can-eat cellular service costs me $35 per month, flat -- to the penny.)
