I used to get charged a $1 for receiving a bill by paper, but that charge 
has recently dropped [dingoblue; still use them for mobile].  Maybe they 
were told to knock it off.  The choice was to get the bill by email or in 
paper.  I decided paper was less arguable if required.  But I do pay most 
bills by online BPay or direct debit.
