Even Comcast doesn't charge a fee to pay by credit card or Echeck.

It's because they are charged a 2.5% credit card processing fee. They can't build it into the taxes as a company like Comcrap or Macy's or Wendy's can build it into their merchandise. For you to pay no fee, those of us who pay by check would have to cover it. As far as the eCheck fee I think that is ridiculous however I assume it is because they are using a 3rd party processing service who charges them.
