At first, I said, I'll check that out on my two "special" lines w/Metro
Service (cpu and fax). I didn't see anything funny on the last two bills,
but this revelation has got me worried:

Now I'm worried. I live in JP, in the 524- exchange, and I wonder if I've
ever been affected. I'm going to have to look at all my old bills now. How
far back have you noticed this? Which exchange in JP are you in?
