Did anyone else notice the recent change in billing for measured service
from Michigan Bell?  It used to be that if you had more than one line, the
minimum ("free") call allowance was figured on the total over all lines in a
billing group.  So if you had two lines, the minimum was 110 calls.  Now, if
you go over on either line, you pay extra.  So if you made 100 calls on one
line and 10 on the other, you would have paid nothing before, but now you
pay for 45 extra calls.

This change seems to have happened at the same time that unmeasured service
was eliminated.

I also think it's sleazy that they list the access charge as "line access
charge -- federal."  Makes it sound like some kind of tax, when actually
it's just money in their pockets.
