I don't think there is anyway to reduce them...


computed something like this:
regulatry cost recovery fee
federal excise tax
federal universal service charge
state 911 tax
state public utility surcharge
+local taxes


yeah it sucks, just expect about double what normall sales tax is

you would have to have you bill have the address from a state where the taxes are less on you account.
