I don’t often see the fees that go on the bill, because I don’t get the final bill.
On top of that each carrier charges different fees/taxes.
It isn’t easy to know what those fees will be. That’s on me though.
BGP – at least half the carriers charge something for this; either one time set up or a recurring charge.
IP Addresses – all of them charge for anything more than a /29
