What is subscriber line charge on my statement?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that local telephone companies recover a portion of the costs of the facilities we use to connect your home or business through a monthly assessment on all residential and business customers. The federal “subscriber line charge” (SLC) assessment is part of the FCC’s effort to promote a competitive framework for the telecommunications industry. The federal SLC is a flat monthly charge assessed directly on your bill. The SLC does not result in any additional revenue for local telephone companies.
