Louisville, KY | As well it should I don't like paying a fee for a service I'm not using. Why should I? As if the Deathstar can't/won't afford to deploy POTS. What a load of hooey. | |

| Re: As well it should If look over my Vonage bill history, it started out small with just a little tax FET and Regulatory Recovery Fee.
Oct 2006 is when the Federal Universal Service Fee started for all of us Vonage folk and stayed every since.
I find the irony in that Vonage has remained the same price, it's only the tax and fees and local whatever they can add part that inflates the price so much.
Now it's polluted with

Regulatory Recovery Fee $4.95
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $4.95

Are you kidding me? $30 sum dollars in fees on top of the monthly subscription? Isn't the monthly subscription like $25? This makes fees more than the subscription...  | |

| Re: As well it should said by Phoenix2088 :Based on the rate calculator on Vonage's website for Franklin, TN, your rates, if that is where you have service, should be: Monthly Service Charge Monthly Service Charge $24.99 State/Local Taxes and Fees $3.75 FUSF (VoIP) $2.02 County 911 Fee $1.00 Regulatory Recovery Fee $0.99 Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $0.99 Total $33.74 I'm not calling BS on what was posted, but everyone else should realize the rates he posted are no where in line with what most other Vonage users have posted here at BBR and Vonage Forums. This is exactly why people went voip. bullshit fees!
i remember when 24.99 vonage was 24.99 out the door!
*sigh*
