I'm curious how my monthly Century Link bill compares to other peoples'.
My most recent monthly bill is $73.17 for internet and local phone service. Century Link provides the internet connection (DSL)but I prefer to pay another company to be my ISP - in the sense of providing the name service and email.
Some locations in town have Century Link ADSL lines, but there is only DSL in my area.
The itemized bill:
Internet - Connect silver $30.00
Local Phone Service $18.41
Internet Cost Recovery Fee $3.99 (It's well known that this is a charge invented by Century Link and named to sound like some governmental fee, which it isn't.)
Federal Access Charge $6.50
Access Recovery Charge $2.40 ( Another charge invented by Century Link ?)
For Internet Service:
State Sales at 5.125% $1.74
County Sales at 1.25% $0.43
City Sales at 1.9375% $0.66
For Local Phone Service
State Sales at 5.125% $0.97
County Sales at 1.25% $1.67
City Sales at 1.9375% $0.41
State 911 at $0.51 per access line $0.51
New Mexico Universal Service Fund $1.22
