Re: Hey hey....
One need only to remember that in market trials and early deployment, a single static IP @ 384/128 was $79.95 and people were desperate to get it.
I now get 6.0/608 for $45.00 a month.
Enough said.

According to the Bell groupies, consultants, and employees I read on here, users shouldn't care about totally fabricated fees.....
You shush yourself and pay that "copper collaberation and asset recovery" fee that isn't actually a fee...and you like it!
Talking about it means the terrorists win. |

Actually for the $26.95 and $29.95 it's a $1.84. The article is wrong. The FUSF is same across all regions what the fee depends on is your pricing package. The $5.83 is for the higher packages and which ones I am not even sure. |

Yeah, really...just a horse of a different color. They could charge $19.95/mo. and then add-on charges like "DSLAM Depreciation Designator" and "Provisioning Percolation Procedure" and "Customer Conundrum Charge" and "Router Reduction Recoupment" . . . to make the customer's actual cost whatever they wanted regardless of the advertised base price...

I thought the USF was only $1.84?? If that is correct assuming the price is $26.95 + 1.84 would be about 28.79..
said by the article:
Of course the actual cost savings are questionable, since SBC recently added surcharges ranging from $1.84 to $5.83 (depending on which state you're in) via their FUSF
Looks like it's anywhere from $1.84 all the way to $5.83.

They should just charge $28.50, ditch the FUSF, and stop confusing the children. |

Nonsense. Price is lowered. Then it's raised. Then the FUSF, which is just a price hike in sheep's clothing is introduced, and then the price is lowered again......
Did I miss something in that timeline? |

FUSF started Feb. 1st of 04 on any new orders and any packages. I think SBC just wants the lowest price for DSL. |

Well, it's smoke and mirrors. I like you, Beach Boy, but I have to call the bluff on SBC. The FUSF really offsets any savings from this new price point, does it not?
I thought the USF was only $1.84?? If that is correct assuming the price is $26.95 + 1.84 would be about 28.79..
True it is not $29.95 + 1.84... It is a little better if you look at it from that angle.. To be honest I thought the 26 was going to be a one time only thing..
But hey I am a tech not a market person  Thank god right?? |
