Re: Typical
said by axess_denied  :"The surcharge helps offset costs we incur from our network supplier" I'd love to be in a business where I could charge for a product, and then add additional fees to charge again for the same product. Don't take this as defending Verizon because I'm not, but thanks to deregulation, Verizon the telco, Verizon the backhaul provider, and Verizon the ISP are all 3 separate entities within the Verizon umbrella. They essentially have to treat each other as separate companies, "charging" one another for services provided just like they would charge Covad or other CLECs or other ISPs.
That being said, I see this fee more like just another way to raise rates (even though the net gain is close to 0) without raising the advertised rates. Now as long as they stay away from my FiOS data connection...
