maintainence charges

Hi All
I got a call from my CTO that i have to pay Maintainance Charges to keep the network up. Failing which my network will will not be maintained (ie saying disconected in a polite way).
Sify Customer care also says to pay it up. and its Rs 100/- per month which is too high.
I any one paying some kind such charges. pls post it here with ur city and area. by the way in in B'lore (Kanakpura Rd area.)
