I think it's because they need to...not for any legal reason, but to
increase cash flow by every penny possible. As they just spend 2.3 billion
dollars on an acquisition. Every penny they can add to a bill is an
attempt to slow the bleeding that resulting from over borrowing.

Well... they can until they can't because I'm no longer a customer...

Same situation with us. We have dozens of circuits with them as a result of
that acquisition and the previous ACI acquisition of Canopco and OneConnect.
Not impressed. Not a happy customer. Already flipping to alternatives.

Yeah similar experience here …. But we’ve had that fee for a number of years

Our experience with GTT was just a nightmare. All kinds of billing problems and
surcharges (finance surcharge, regulatory surcharge, etc.). As soon as we
finished the contract, we just stopped our business with them. Now, lawyers are
taking over.

Nope… IP transit doesn’t pay into USF generally speaking.
USF is billed as a separate line item (at least on the bills I get where it is
a factor).
The “regulatory recovery fee” is a bs name telcos use to make it sound like a
tax they are passing on to the government. In reality, it’s a slush

I would speculate that the reason is ever popular ‘because they can”.

They are charging it to us on a connection they deliver in Toronto Canada. I
can't imagine how the corporate sociopaths could justify charging an American
recovery fee on a service delivered in Canada.

Kinda crappy they don't spell it out. Well, no, I guess USF would be closer to
+-18%.

Saw this on our old GTT bill first and then on our Hibernia account bill when
they merge their finance dept.
Filled a dispute with GTT finance and after multiple fights, we got these
surcharges removed. We ended up with a HUGE mess on our bills, charged in USD
when our contracts were in CAD,
GTT is rapidly losing any good will they've had with us over the past number of
years.
We just got hit with that regulatory recovery fee too, and they totally screwed
up the transfer of billing operations when they bought our colo provider,

We've been a GTT customer for several years and on our latest bill we now have
a "Regulatory Recovery Surcharge" of almost 10% tacked on. We only purchase IP
Transit services from them, nothing else, and have never had any fees tacked on
top of our contracted agreed upon amount. Has anyone else
