Yes, the fees are hidden. You don't know what they are until after you're charged. That seems pretty hidden to me.

All you have to do is ask the rep when ordering. They will give you what % the unfees come to.

Here when you ask; Taxes and Fees depend on region. We can't give you that price only a rough idea. Even with AT&T, VZ and everyone else. TWC is the only one that has is usually close.

Bold emphasis added by me. See, that's the problem. You have to be actually ordering the service to find out. They aren't clearly known up front for comparison shopping purposes (like surfing the web, or the advertised rates.) Sure, when you're 85% of the way into signing the contract, you might be able to find out then, maybe... but there's nothing to stop it from increasing immediately, either. It's too much hassle. Up-front pricing, yes please.

Funny, Bellsouth claimed the "hurricane cost recovery fee" was a tax. It wasn't. It was a tariff that went directly to them.

Their billing department doesn't seem to have a problem calculating the fees. Why should the sales rep? If they give that answer, ask again.
