Then why is my upstream provider charging me USF fee on my broadband only 
connection?

Just 477

The reclassification didn’t change the USF status of information services, and 
by the same token it’s repeal didn’t change it’s status.

USF is based on voice service and some interstate data circuits.

Ok, sorry, so I've been extremely busy this year and missed the fact that the 
FCC once again re-classified us in January 2018 as a Service Provider instead 
of a Telecommunications Provider. Therefor exempting us from filing 499A/Q and 
having to pay into the FUSF fund if we are only providing internet, not 
VoIP/Telephone services.

Is that correct?

So now I'm digging to this more to make sure I'm on the right track.

ALL broadband/internet ISP providers are now classified Telecommunications 
providers and must file FCC 499a or 499q and pay USF if not de-minimus?

Is this where we all stand now?
