| Speakeasy does the same Just got my latest bill from Speakeasy. Of course the FUSF fee was reduced from $4.35 to $0.00, but, strangely enough, the "Regulatory Compliance Fee" was increased from $3.71 to $6.90! Amazing that their cost for "Regulatory Compliance" increased even though they don't have to collect and track the FUSF fee anymore. I would have thought it was less work for them... 
When I challenged Customer Service to explain this, this is the response I got:
"The FCC updated its FUSF policy regarding broadband services, making the FUSF optional. As of this coming August 14, broadband providers will no longer be mandated to contribute to FUSF. Speakeasy decided to no longer forward the FUSF charges to its customer.
We will be removing the Federal Regulatory Fee, as you can see the Federal Regulatory Fee is now $0 in your invoice, but will be fusing this to Regulatory Compliance Fee to make the invoice much simplier.
The combined Taxes saves you about 1% from 6.95%."
Gee, what a deal...  |

this is so disgusting 
i would be so happy if somebody started class action lawsuit against ALL service providers that include this kind of bullshit.
or pass a law similar to airline fares..advertized price IS the price you will pay.

The price does not state if you get coffee, tea or me from the stewardess. |
