Got the automated text I was at the end of my billing cycle, when I noticed it was about $4.00 higher. I subscribed to nothing new, I never come close to using all my data, so I couldn't figure it out looking at my bill, so I called.
They said everyone's taxes went up this month. He had me look at last month's bill, and buried on the very last page was
"FUSC Change
The Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC) is a Verizon Wireless charge
that is subject to change each calendar quarter based on contribution
rates prescribed by the FCC. On October 1, the FUSC changed to 4.04
percent of assessable wireless charges, other than separately billed
interstate and international telecom charges. The FUSC on separately
billed interstate and international telecom charges changed to 17.4
percent. For more details, please call 1-888-684-1888."
Anyone else get the increase?
Yes, I know it's only $4 bucks, but it adds up, and I find it piss-poor customer service to be notified like this.
