I have Comcast in 2 states and the bills are very simple they charge me X amount for both, the same rate I agreed to when the plan started, and 0 extra fees.
Here's where things get complicated. The city I used to live in charged AT&T a municipal telecom tax of $1.25 when I moved the fee went away and I've since changed to Comcast. If I look at my cellphone bill I see a $0.11 tax for the state, and $0.06 for the county.
Remember you can tax at the federal/state/county/city level in the US. I used to work at a restaurant in the city limits that had a small percentage tax on alcohol, if you walk across the street its no longer in the city limits thus no excise tax.
I don't envy the programmer who has to make all this happen.
