Verizon Tacks New $1 Fee on to FiOS Voice Bills
While Verizon's FiOS service once paved the trail for quality, the last few years have seen the company and service pave new trails when it comes to price hikes and the addition of a wide variety of new fees. The latest, according to users in both our forums and over at the official Verizon support forums, is a "FDV Administrative Charge" that has recently shown up on Verizon FiOS customer bills. The cost, applied to the voice portion of the bill, isn't government mandated and "helps defray account servicing costs associated with providing voice services." Such fees allow companies to raise rates while keeping advertised rates the same.

If the government can force airlines to advertise the actual ticket price (including all taxes and fees), then why can't they force the internet providers?
