39.00 just for a local phone connection? What a joke.
Huh? Local phone service in New Jersey is only $16 per month, including taxes. And there are other plans (non- flat rate) that cost only $12 or $14 per month.

CenturyTel's rates, and the rates of other similar ILECs such as ALLTEL, tend to be higher because they are considered "rural" ILECs (even when they serve or mid-sized towns, or areas that are clearly suburbs of major cities), and their rates in mid-sized towns and suburban areas tend to include relatively large "EAS additives" to cover the costs of local calling to nearby larger communities.
Here in metro Atlanta, ALLTEL (Canton, Monroe, Winder, Jasper) charges *MORE* than BellSouth for the exact same local calling area...

$16 (approx) is the charge including all the taxes; it's the amount of the check I write each month.
