RE: [PLUG] (OT) DSL and Taxes
|
I just looked at my first bill for the Cavalier Telephone package that I had
installed when we moved. Package includes Local, 300 LD minutes, and DSL w/
static IP for ~$80/month. The first bill includes DSL modem cost and
installation fees. On $300 bill taxes come out to $10.07.
Fed 3.86
Stat Gros Rcpt 6.14
State 0.06
Local 0.01
