Simply go with the provider which provides you the service you want at the price you want.
While you like to point out the line access fee is high, simply moving around the price of portions of your bill while keeping the total the same does not equate to Verizon raising their prices.
For example, the line access for phones on my account jumped from $10 to $40 when Verizon switched to "Share Everything/More Everything" plans. People seem to forget that the minute/texting portion of the plan dropped dramatically at the same time, balancing out the overall cost. This has the effect of basically keeping the bill at the same level. It doesn't matter to me that they simply want to call a larger portion "line access" than what they used to call "line access". They are simply calling it something different but keeping the overall price the same. What does the name matter? If my bill had increased by increasing the "line access" fee, then I may have had a problem. As it is, though, with the overall bill remaining the same, it is simply a name change for a portion of the bill.
For example, before Share Everything my line access was a total of $40($10x4) for 4 lines(4 smartphones). Now it is $160($40x4) for 4 lines(2 smartphones/2 basic phones). So my line access fee has increased by $120. NOW take a look at the rest of my bill. Before Share Everything, the calling/texting/data portion of my bill was $180/month. That is $110/month for the calling/texting portion of the bill PLUS $70/month for 2 $30 data plans and 1 $10 data plan for the 4 lines. Now, that portion of my bill is $60/month. THIS portion of my bill has dropped by $120/month. That increase in the line access fee doesn't look so bad now. Keep in mind, I now have 4 smartphones instead of 2 smartphones/2 basic phones. If I had added those 2 smartphones before making the switch, my bill would have jumped by $50/month. My usage habits have not changed ONE BIT. I use the exact same amount of data as before and text the exact same amount. Now that I think about it, I may actually be making more calls than before.
Total bill before Share Everything, $220/month. After Share Everything, $220, and INCLUDES upgrading 2 basic phones to smartphones. Of course, this does not include any discounts and/or taxes/fees. Incidentally, the taxes have dropped. It seems that by changing things around, Verizon has been able to drop the amount of the bill that is taxable and THAT is a plus. My taxes have dropped by over $5/month.
Of course, your bill depends on your usage. For some, it will be better, not so much for others.
One slight correction in my ramblings from above. I actually DO use more data than before. With 4 smartphones instead of 2 smartphones/2 basic phones, I DO use a larger amount of combined data across all lines. However, my total monthly data cost HAS dropped by being able to share the data across all lines.
What I meant when saying "my usage habits have not changed ONE BIT" is that the data usage habits on the 2 smartphones I had previously have not changed ONE BIT. If anything, they have increased since I seem to be watching more Watch ESPN on my smartphone that before.
