Phone Bills May Go Higher Across Central Telephone
Central Telephone Company customers face a rate hike of about 25 percent for residents and up to 50 percent for some business customers after the North Carolina Utilities Commission approved roughly 63 percent of the requested increase. The plan aims to raise about 3.77 million dollars in additional state revenues, with some customers seeing net decreases due to the elimination of the zone charge for rural lines. Company officials cite heavy construction costs and taxes while acknowledging a strained return on investment.
