[comp.dcom.telecom] Local Phone Rates

Not wanting to start a big discussion on what your phone company
charges for service, but:

I'm wondering if $50.00 a month is a little too high for just having a
phone in the house?

I have unlimited calling within my local area, and since I live in a
so called "fringe" area, I have "metro" service which is a one-way
calling plan so I can place unlimited called to the greater Milwaukee
area.

They officially cut over to Equal-Access today, and now they want to
increase our bills by 32%-38%.

I think it's outrageous and will be attending the PSC hearings to
voice my opinions.

[Moderator's Note: My bill for local service from IBT is about $100
per month. Of course, I have loads of features on my lines.   PAT]
