According to the information, this service is not free, as some of them have begun charging an additional fee ranging between $2 and $3 for each collection operation from home, which is paid directly in addition to the value of the Internet subscription.
This step means that the subscriber who chooses to collect the bill from his home may pay an additional amount of up to $36 annually, if the cost of the service reaches $3 per month.
The information indicates that the fee does not constitute an increase on the price of the Internet package itself, but rather a separate service allowance for the representative’s travel to the subscriber’s home and collection of dues, while its value and the mechanism for approving it may differ between one distributor and another, and one region and another.
Also, this mechanism does not appear to be uniform across all Internet distributors, as its adoption is linked to the collection method adopted by each distributor, amid a tendency among some to separate the cost of collecting the bill at home from the value of the basic subscription.
Accordingly, subscribers who rely on the home collection service now face a new additional cost, although it is limited monthly, but it turns into a noticeable amount when calculated over the course of a full year.
