I really for the first time sat down and went over my bill and looked up every charge on it. I was totally shocked. I am paying for so many taxes and grants and fee's and ect.
But let me say I do luv my verizon fios.
I am just questioning the state and federal govt. taxes
On the Federal Universal Service Fund (USF) charge A monthly, per-line surcharge paid by the customer to recover local companies' contribution to the Federal Universal Service Fund. This fund supports telecommunications and information services in schools, public libraries, and rural health-care facilities. The fund also subsidizes local service to high-cost areas and low-income customers. The FCC regulates this charge.
I grew up in LOW-INCOME- no one every helped us out (tax wise)
The Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) rate is reviewed quarterly. This fee helps to keep local telephone rates affordable for all customers and gives a discount to schools, libraries and low-income families.
and the PEG grant: PEG, Public Education Grant
why do we have to pay for this????
I really don't get it
