A comment on Sonic.net CEO: We Delete User Logs After Two Weeks. Your ISP Should, Too.. Parent comment
DSL service: $40
Phone service: Free
Actual bill comes in:
Phone service taxes: $3
Phone service fees, surcharges etc, discretionary, levied by Sonic whose entire proceeds go back to them: $12
ie the "Free" phone service I do not want and do not use costs an extra 30%. If they were honest they would say this:
Mandatory phone service: $12 (no additional usage charges)
Mandatory taxes: $3
