Yeah similar experience here …. But we’ve had that fee for a number of years applied. Hibernia as well has been charging us for it since long ago ….

We just got hit with that regulatory recovery fee too, and they totally screwed up the transfer of billing operations when they bought our colo provider, Accelerated Connections (which used to be an awesome company) in Toronto.

We only purchase IP Transit services from them, nothing else, and have never had any fees tacked on top of our contracted agreed upon amount. Has anyone else ran into this? If this is a legit "surcharge" any idea of why we were never charged for that before? I figured I'd reach out to the community on this prior to jumping to further conclusions. -Brandon Yupp, on my GTT IP transit bill as well. This is how telecomm companies pad out their margins these days. You don't even want to know the % of my bill that is just "fees" I'm paying Level3 on a wave circuit. At this point I won't sign for service without knowing exactly what I'll be paying in terms of fees and surcharges and such - there's some stuff you can't avoid on some types of circuits, but for the most part, it's all just padding out their margins. Take care, Matt
