Hey Guys,
For those of you that subscribe to another service be it telco, cable or VoIP, could you please do me a favor and post the provider name with the $ amounts of tax/911/recovery fees billed in this thread? Ideally the line by line breakdown.
I'm just looking for some verifiable samples for different areas to use the data for marketing purposes.
The higher the better. :)
It'll be more obvious where I'm going with this soon.
Thanks in advance!

Well I did have that pricing post up already....
I'm working on "something" though. Just want to present it at the right time.

Here's another picture... For CallVantage, the $0.99 fee applies to everyone, and the $1.90 USF charge will vary depending on plan, discounts, extras (it's a percentage of the bill). Taxes, of course, vary by state and locality, as do E911 fees. My total is $5.69/mo. :(

So as an example, I can use "Vonage Customer from Houston: $X, $X, $X... Total Fees: $X".
It'll make more sense what we're looking to do marketing wise with this later.

I use the following services for home, work, and home office, respectively. (For your reference, Tim, you can say the city is Toronto.)
Bell Canada (landline) - every month, there's $0.19 charged for "911 emergency service access" and $2.80 charged for "touch tone service"
Rogers Home Phone - a recurring, non-governmental $5.95 system access fee (also called a system administration fee), $0.22 911 Emergency Service Access Fee (I believe this varies by province), and $0.19 TTY Hearing Impaired Assistance fee. AFAIK the first two fees are waived for the second line on an account. The "All World Plan" (long distance) is $1/mo + usage. (Calls between Rogers customers are free and incur no long distance charges.) (BTW these charges are comparable to my monthly Telus Mobility phone bill which shows $0.50 "Enhanced 911 access charge" and a $6.95 network/system access fee.)
Telehop Broadtalk.ca (rebranding of Vianet.ca's vTone service) - the monthly charge for the VOIP service is all inclusive, except for provincial and federal sales taxes (8%, 5%, respectively).
