Have you looked at your VAN bill lately?
Is your monthly bill easy to understand or do you find yourself questioning what the excessive fees are for? Recently I have heard complaints that VAN providers are charging their customers exorbitant fees.If you are wondering whether or not your VAN provider is overcharging your organization, then you may want to ask yourself if any of the fees below sound familiar:
No Hidden Fees.Most VAN providers advertise that there will be “no hidden fees” on your monthly bill. They tell you that your bill will be simple to understand.

It is time to stop putting up with:
