Where I am (outside NY) low income broadband is a thing, and the taxes and fees are included in the $15/~$25 a major telecom provider offers. The alternative provider to them advertises a $20 month special, but when you check into it the taxes and fees for that provider add on about 100% to the bill. Advertised mbps in the US, is sort of another sorely needed conversation.
