The best part?

I ended up actually signing up for visible (Verizon has the best service in my area). It's Verizon, reselling their own service, for $45 with everything included. (That's 50GB before they deprioritize you. There's a $35 that's less but still fine for most people.)

It seems like it is actually possible to include those fees in their price.
