I'm not sure that it makes any difference. DSL is unregulated whether they call it DSL or HSI, so they can tack on fees whenever they want regardless. Maybe they think "HSI" is a better marketing term.
They certainly are legally safe in doing what they are doing. But it is misleading, and I prefer doing business with straightforward companies whenever possible and take that into account when choosing a service.
Yes, it is indeed legal, but it is also the perfect evidence to show Americans that telecommunications is not dictated by the free market/competition like most industries.

When a fee is waived and "competitors'" prices do not go down accordingly, what is evident?
