| Verizon Phone and DSL taxes and surcharges are insane These are the taxes on 2 phone lines, and 1 DSL, $42.39!!!!!
The actual service cost before tax is $111.71, so there is about 37.9% of bogus tax and surcharges.

| reply to bigpapae35 I feel your pain.
When I had DSL in Brooklyn I couldn't believe the taxes either. I went to dry line DSL to save on taxes as well.
I now moved to jersey City and have 1 phone line with DSl @ 47.99 ???
I can't see the actual DSL charge but I do see a charge for $29.99 for Freedom Essentials.
It looks like this Basic 25.55 Non Basic: 32.12 (Maybe DSL) for a total bill for 57.67
Here are the taxes:
Fed Excise Tax: .22 NJ State Tax: 3.71 911 system: .90 Universel Service Fee: 1.77 Federal Sub Line and Access Recovery: 7.54 Carrier Cost Recovery: .54 |

Centrex and VES are more than the consumer offerings... |
