I have unlimited calling within my local area, and since I live in a so called "fringe" area, I have "metro" service which is a one-way calling plan so I can place unlimited called to the greater Milwaukee area. They officially cut over to Equal-Access today, and now they want to increase our bills by 32%-38%. I think it's outrageous and will be attending the PSC hearings to voice my opinions.
