Well that's consistent with the warning I got from the PacBell employee yesterday. She did say that my first bill would mention $59 and not the $49 including the ISP fee. Apparently, accounting needs to correct that manually. I find that a bit odd, but at least I won't be surprised when it comes in. She didn't say anything about the $15 though... GIve them a call, but I think youshould only pay $49 and let them sort it out... cheers So how do you like the speed ?
