Let's say this differently.
The USF (TAX) Obligation is on the Service Provider (Telco etc), and it is a
Tax on the Telco, not the Telco's customers.
The Telco, can choose to recover this from it's customers or NOT AT ALL.
However, the rules that have to be followed, in regards to

There was none. We just kept refusing to pay it and explained it several times.
They finally removed it.
Having a good relationship with your A.E. helps a lot I guess.
I lot of it was just making them understand that, since they had all the
addresses of the drops, it was NOT interstate.
OK... but why is there no USF on an INTRAstate circuit but there is on
an INTERstate?

Do a search on interstate. USF does not apply to INTRASTATE communications.

Be as confusing as possible and that way get the least push back on a
made up charge...
After all the fake charges on cell invoices, dsl invoices, and cable
invoices, what would make you think that this was any different? Just
because you are in the biz and might know better?

James,
That's kind of how I was reading that too. Yes, the carrier only pays
it on intrastate circuits, but they can charge it anywhere --- provided
they don't charge more than they pay..
Which brings up another question. with enough customer base the
charges should go down for everyone

Jurisdiction. The Federal USF is, by law, only applicable to interstate
services.
USF was created in 1996. Before then, rural telcos got all of their
subsidies

Looking for some feed back concerning Rocket APs. We have quite a few of
these in the field with UBNT Sectors and KPerformance Sectors.
What we run into is customer complaints about slow speeds at night when
they call into after hours support. We come in the next day and run speed

My guess is that you are running out of PPS capacity (packets per second).
Video tends to be smaller packets in size but larger number in quantity...
So, here come a lot of if's and's or buts.
How do the other folks (Wisp's) Manage this issue. ?
Lots of different ways, but before

I wish radios had a metric like duty cycle. It would tell you what percent of

Want to torrent on our network? setup a vpn outside of it.
