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 *

  • with additional taxes and fees

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:

  • Hail damage recovery fee
  • Flood damage recovery fee

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.
