Effective 9/1, Verizon's illegal (http://documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Common/ViewDoc.aspx?DocRefId=%7BC8CDB490-4D49-42F5-B037-008E4A2411EA%7D) New York "Municipal Construction Surcharge" is increasing yet again to $1.99. This makes the 4th increase of the fee in 2 years, an unadvertised cost-of-doing-business charge that Verizon created out of thin air and continues to raise with impunity. I assume this is punishment for NYC administration not rolling over and actually expecting Verizon to follow their promises re: servicing NYC with FIOS.
In addition, the separate $8 "because we can" above the line price increase also went into effect this month for people who aren't in bundles.
