Does new plan have higher taxes and fees?

Hi! I am considering the new Mobile Select plans for some of the lines on my account. The broadband facts show a significantly higher charge for the Universal Connectivity Fee & Regulatory Recovery Fee for the new Mobile Select plan compared to what I currently pay on the older Unlimited Intro plan. Do these fees increase when moving from the older Unlimited Intro plan to the newer Mobile Select plan? Thanks!

Hi there, SurfInCA! Great question. I’m glad you’re taking a close look at the Broadband Facts before making any changes. The Universal Connectivity Fee and Regulatory Recovery Fee can vary between plans, including when moving from older Unlimited Intro plans to newer Mobile Select plans. These fees aren’t fixed. They’re subject to change based on plan structure and current rates, which is why you may see a higher estimate listed for the newer plan. That said, the amount shown on the Broadband Facts label is typically an estimate, so your actual charges may vary slightly.

Hi @XfinityDilary Thank you for your reply! Is there a way to verify the actual Universal Connectivity and Regulatory Recovery Fees that will apply in my case for the new Mobile Select plan before I decide to switch plans? Thanks!

SurfInCA  Great follow-up question, and I’m glad you’re taking a closer look before making any changes.

The Universal Connectivity Fee and Regulatory Recovery Fee aren’t fixed amounts, so there isn’t a way to see an exact dollar figure ahead of time for your specific account. These fees can vary based on things like your plan type, location, and current rates.

What you see on the Broadband Facts label is typically the best estimate available before switching. Once a new plan is active, those fees are then calculated and reflected on your actual bill.
