 ·Verizon FiOS
1 edit | They're already taxing in Virginia I was with Cavalier Telephone earlier this year, and noticed my first couple bills were higher. I called in to ask about the rate increase, and it was some type of mandatory tax that had just been put into effect. Now I'm with Verizon FIOS, and it's a straight fee with no extra taxes.
My DirecTV bill has also started taxing me this year. It's no joke during football season, because with NFL Sunday Ticket and College GamePlan, my bill has exceeded $10 in taxes alone the past couple months.
Thank you, Virginia. Maybe I'll dip into my 401K to pay my property taxes. Thieves. |

| No kidding, I just saw that on my DirecTV bill here too. Somthing like $5 for the state.

Falls Church, VA | Ah, you're going to love this one - Congress passed a law saying that states could not impose a franchise fee on Sat TV. In response, the cable companies convinced a number of states to pass NEW taxes (they're not franchise fees, honest) that all TV service providers must pay, and then they let the cable guys take credit for the amount they've already paid in franchise fees - in other words, the cable guys pay what they always have, and the Sat TV guys are now paying the franchise fees as well.
It doesn't matter that the franchise fees are meant to pay for the community impacts (streets, construction, rights of way) of cable installation, which directTV has no role in. |

Canonsburg, PA | Those states are just inviting their discriminatory taxes to be challenged in Federal Court. |
