Yes but to avoid the tax cut. I really dont know the complete ins and outs, but I can find out at work tomorrow. If its ok, then theres no stopping any company doing the same, which would make the tax cut (to help the public) a complete waste of time.

Aren't companies free to set their prices as they please? This was sleazy of them to do, but they are complying with the tax cut. Their service fee has risen so the customer doesn't notice the change. Sleazy, but seems legal enough to me. [surrender]
