NOTES:

When there has been a discrepancy between the information on
a company's web page and the information given over the
phone, the information given over the phone has been listed
here.

All charges are listed per b channel. Use of both b channels
at the same time will receive twice the listed charge or
exhaust twice the amount of free time that may be allotted.

While the Subscriber Line Charge (SLC) is listed as included
or separate for all of the above entries, the Emergency 911
(E911) charges are not listed because they differ from
county to county, but can reach up to and over $5.00 a month
in some counties. The SLC is always $5.00.

In the Bell Atlantic former Nynex region a break down of
the monthly fee shows it to be $8 for ISDN and $5 for each b
channel, the $1.90 is apparently a special feature included
into the standard package. In addition the customer must
