San Francisco, CA | Regarding the 2/1 start date for FUSF, is that for the DSL Order date or Activation Date? I ordered DSL on 1/30, and my activation date was 2/7. Am I gonna pay the FUSF fee? I still didn't get my first bill with DSL service charges. |

My understanding is: You will pay a FUSF in any case. Older lower one or newer higher one. But, I do not have SBC so it might not be accurate. |

FUSF is for any one that as far as I know activates DSL after 2/1. When you place an order that isn't when the bill starts it's when you create your account for DSL. |

Looks like it based on this page (link to the $99/mo static plan, see bottom under the *): »www01.sbc.com/DSL_new/content/1,,79,00.html?
Any "new" service after 2/1 gets it, it would seem. |

Just another reason to leave my little 1.5/256 line alone......:D
No matter how tempting something is, no matter how carefully one reads the fine print, there's always something that eventually comes to light that can be considered a *gotcha*
I wonder how many of the people who rushed to get their upgrades at the beginning of the month would have gone through with it, had they known that the price(s) they would be actually paying were different than the quoted prices.
Sure $6 per month isn't much but consider that $6 multiplied by 12 months equals $72 more per year added to your bill than you expected....
Interesting to say the least. |

Valencia, CA | It will not encourage me to upgrade on DSL...
On the otherside... since the LECs know they can now collect this outside of thier billing, and its fixed by speed (shouldn't it be by circuit?), I'm sure we will be seeing higher speeds |

San Francisco, CA | Whats really baffling me is, why doesn't SBC state the FUSF fee amounts (like $1.84/$2.35/$5) instead of just stating that there is an FUSF fee associated with each new plan.
Having the FUSF fee hidden in small print at the bottom of the DSL plan pages is deceptive enough. Not mentioning the Fee amount to me is like major theft. |
