What’s the news: Last year alone, Americans paid more than
in fees to landline ISPs. That’s just the fees. Today, T-Mobile is launching the Big$9 BILLION Fee Deal – it’s off the old monthly Home Internet price, with no price hikes. Customers can now get Home Internet for just$10 per month with AutoPay. And no added fees.$50 -
Why it matters:
NINE billion dollars . Every year. - Who it’s for: The millions of Americans who rely on home internet for school, work and staying connected, but are tired of paying billions in ISP fees.

ISPs have been having their way for years, tacking on these bogus charges every month and getting away with it. There’s a fee for everything — equipment, installation (even SELF-installation!), overages, disconnecting early … hey, if you’re a Charter customer, you’ll even get a fee just to CONNECT to Wi-Fi! And most ISPs advertise their rates before adding in all that extra cost, leaving customers with monthly bill shock.

ISPs rank dead last in recent customer satisfaction scores from ACSI. Is anyone surprised?
Americans have never needed affordable, reliable broadband as much as they do now. And yet, more than a quarter of Americans reported being worried about paying their broadband bill last year. In the wake of the pandemic and so much more trauma, the last thing Americans need is to worry about their internet bill.
