Looking for exact amounts for taxes and fees?
This charge varies by state and is reviewed yearly. For the specific amount, please see your bill.
How is it calculated?
We take the cost of required relocations for the prior year and divide by the number of lines provided to business and residential customers. Each month, a portion of these costs for the lines are applied to the bill. As a result, these charges can fluctuate or even disappear, year to year, as dictated by the needs of your state's infrastructure.
Which states are affected?
You may have discounts or credits on your invoice, but not all customers will see these. They can include one-time credits, as in the event of an outage.
