This is becoming the standard practice in business these days. It's disguising a price increase with a surcharge or fee. It really sucks that Verizon has to gouge us like this.

As I read it, it is for where Verizon provides a physical line and DSL, but isn't the local voice provider. For instance, for when you have Dry Loop (those users already pay $5/month extra, so bullshit) or you use a different company for voice (who pays Verizon to use the line, so more bullshit).
