So that's close, but not 100%. - Any plan 25Mb - 199Mb must be $15 a month , inclusive of all fees, including equipment. - Any plan 200Mb+ must be $20 a month , but the provider MAY charge equipment rental + taxes and fees on top . My understanding (from some ISP friends that lobbied on this) is that the 200Mb/$20 plan was a carrot to get ISPs to raise that minimum bandwidth floor , since most would very much want to keep charging equipment fees. I am in full agreement that $15 all in is a silly low number, doubly low if you can't recoup equipment.
