Who I have the same questioned this topic

Just started with Verizon a week ago...received my first bill and there was a "Surcharge" of $80.68 on the bill.  There was no real explaination of it except that Veizon is covering some of their expenses.  I thought the reason I took a certain plan it would make my bill the same each month.  Does anyone else have extra "Surcharges" on their plan???
