Heck, many popular ISPs won't even tell you what you'll be paying until your first bill arrives.

For example "Fees & taxes" could be up to a third of your bill, and often they cannot quote the dollar amounts during initial contact.

This is particularly egregious when many fees are purely from the company itself, but worded to sound like taxes/government originating.

When I worked at att I was really only estimating what your bill would be, I never actually knew what we would charge you for phone service cable or internet even with our internal tools. Bills would also be different from month to month for seemingly no reason

Whats even worse is some of these "taxes" aren't even legit taxes, it's taxes they're creating. It's shady as all.
