To confirm AS852 and AS577 don’t charge $dayjob for prefix changes …. they both do them manually though which is a pain :(

If I’m the only one, then I’m obviously caught in some administrative black hole there that I would like to get myself out of.  This is something that has only started happening in the last 6 months or so.  Prior to that, we were never charged by them for these requests.  Unfortunately, my sales rep has been less than helpful in trying to understand what changed to make us susceptible to these new charges.
