Verizon saves customers $1.25-- and only charges $1.20 for it!
Ah, the marvels of corporatism. Verizon lobbied hard to get a federal tax, the Universal Service Fund, stricken from the lawbooks. It amounted to $1.25 per DSL customer per month. But they're not passing the savings on to you-- the difference is being made up by a price hike thanks to a new Verizon surcharge of $1.20. They call it saving you a nickel. I call it bribing legislators to boost executive salaries.
