He said they were a charge for circuits never ordered. I've seen a bit of the same myself, and thus I believe him. I've also seem multiple installation charges for the same order, charges for interior cabling when I personally did the wiring from the network interface, and a fair number of other shenanigans. However, in this litiginous world, the correct approach is to pay the disputed billing, give them 5 days notice to refund the overcharge, and then sue them, including fees and costs. (Although I've never had to do this over $300K, which isn't exactly pocket change.) Fortunately, the Uniform Commercial Code gives a reasonable rate of return on the interest: 1% a month from date of filing. Somewhat better than I can get at the local bank.... I usually take plenty of time to conclude the dispute after filing, for that very reason. The big guys hold their very bigness over your head to force payment, so you might as well take advantage of their natural slowness. :-) Hopefully, he has a good lawyer.
