I believe looking at it as a percentage is not appropriate in this case since some of the fees are not percentage based. Lets say your county charges a $2 E911 fee. If VOIPo sells you service for $2 a month, your "taxes" are at 100%. So would it make you feel better to be charged $20 a month so your taxes are only 10%? If, philosophically, $3 appears to be a large amount for taxes and fees, compare it with the competition - I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it is. The bottom line is you as a consumer compare what you get with what the competition offers and choose what works best for you. What I like about VOIPo far outweighs my dislikes - which may explain why I hope to be around a long time.
