It means what it says: my monthly charge is always $17.50. Period.

OK. I pay $17.50/month max and $17.50/month min, no matter how many
hours a month I use it. Your $14.95 will get my interest if it meets the
following conditions met by my current provider; otherwise I will
consider the additional $2.55/month to be worth it:

1. It must be accessible for no additional charge by anyone from my
work place in Palo Alto, my home in Daly City, and my daughter's in
Sacramento. (It's a real plus that my service is also available from
the LA, Portland and Seattle areas, along with many other areas across
the country, but I won't hold you to those.)

2. It must have access to ALL 5,000-some Usenet newsgroups.

I did. Or are you saying that I'm too stupid to know what I'm getting
from my provider?
