| Verizon takes away and gives!
Effective August 26, Verizon will charge a Supplier Surcharge for all DSL customers. The surcharge helps offset costs we incur from our network supplier. The Supplier Surcharge will be $1.20/month for 768Kbps service customers and $2.70/month for higher DSL speeds.
Verizon Online will cease charging an FUSF recovery fee, beginning August 14, 2006. The impact of the elimination of the FUSF fee is for DSL customers up to 768Kbps, fee eliminated is $1.25.month; for DSL customers of up to 1.5Mbps and 3Mbps services, the fee eliminated is $2.83/month. On balance your total bill will remain about the same as it has been or slightly lower.
We regret the need to add this Supplier Surcharge, but we thank you for choosing high speed Verizon Online DSL. We appreciate and value your business. |

| Thanks Verizon, that net savings of $0.13 will put me on the road to financial freedom 
Seriously though, the cynic in me saw this coming. Quite a coincidence that these "costs we incur from our network supplier" directly coincide with the elimination of the FUSF.

| Re: [speed/latency] Can ADSL REALLY be SO BAD ?
This is the height of hypocrisy!
So Verizon needs to collect for a cost increase from their network supplier.
Except, who exactly is that network supplier ? Is is maybe a company (or a subsidiary) whose name begins with V and end in N, by any chance ?
