Effective January 1, 2022, STE Communications’ local telephone service rate for residential customers will be restructured per updated local and federal guidelines. The $6.50 Exchange Access, the $1 .50 Residence Access Recovery Charge, and the $2.33 FUSC will all be eliminated. The monthly rate will increase from $18.00 to $29.99. The net total would result in an increase to your bill ranging from only $1.66 to $2.55 per month, including federal, state, and local taxes depending on your physical location. Thank you for being a loyal customer of STE Communications.
