You were paying for it either way, they just broke it out as a line item.
I understand this, but now they get to double dip, have a high price, AND charge more. Instead of having all the pricing roled into the final price, they get to say $65/m *
They also get to invent new situations to charge you for. Instead of just, "our service costs this much" they now get to add additional things like:
Who knows if they ever actually have to relocate a building like they told me. I'd like to see some figures in how often that actually happens, and how much it costs them as a company.
the slight difference is that now it doesn't affect profits
I don't know why you've been down voted. This is the way businesses operate. They either tell you the reason for an added fee or they hide it in a price increase.
