Verizon already contracts for its data circuits to carry DSL service, so they don't really have to charge an extra supplier fee. That should be built into your monthly charge. To get rid of the FUSF Recovery fee ($1.55 on my monthly bill) and then charge a fake charge is silly. I wonder if I can file a dispute and notify the FCC with a complaint? This is very peculiar.

So does that mean "stuffing the pockets of the CEO" or what? How are they allowed to get away with that? And how can someone like me do anything to put a stop to it? I know it may seem like such a little amount of money, but take that times how many millions of customers they serve, and that's a LOT of money! p.s. thanks for commenting on my blog. ;-) “Subsidize connection costs”?
