I had a "bundle" of my phone service and Internet with Charter cable. No television, I detest their operation on television end of things. My bundle was supposed to cost $30 for phone and $30 for Internet each month for 12 months. I ported my house phone from AT&T over to Charter. First bill or two were about $63. Then, they kept adding extra charges to the bill, and if you asked for a refund, it showed on the front page but was always removed on a later page by some new mysterious (but identical) charge. But the 12th month the bill was up to $87. I took the phone away and put it as an account on Sprint, so my house number is now a cell phone in the house. I'll drop it at the end of the two years because I have a cell phone in my pocket already.

My point here is that the telecommunications act that let lots of people sell phone service is carte blanche to rob you blind.
