Rejected We left this plan off our honest list. Here's exactly why.

VARIABLE RATE

Variable rate — the price can change month to month with no cap.

BASE CHARGE

Charges a flat monthly base fee on top of the rate — it quietly raises your real cost, and hits low-usage months hardest.

What it actually costs at different usage
