I hate it when you call up a phone company for a quote, and it's invariably 30-50% lower than the actual bill.

Also, it would get rid of the various $40/month unlimited service plans that actually cost $75/month.

That way you could compare phone charges. I mean, I have to ask, why is there a $6 a month line fee when the company OWNS the lines? That is clearly actually part of the service charge, so instead of quoting $12/month basic local service, quote what it is $18/month...

Doesn't make the ads so good sounding though.

All around, I want a law that whatever you advertise a product for, that's the cash I *pay* when I walk out with it. Not + delevery, tax, surcharge, handling, etc...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13674827 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 17:37:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13673425 cdru : Even once the legal speak and loopholes are closed, we the consumers aren't going to see smaller bills.
