Despite the amount of the change, it was almost a 26% increase. I am assuming you didn't look up the definitions for materially adverse effect but simply put it defines to a noticeable and negative effect. Being that this increase was noticeable and definitely a negative effect it falls inside of the guidelines. However at this point the amount is inconsequential as the significant point is Verizon will say anything to get out of their own contracts, these contracts seem to only apply to the consumer.
If you are truly a Verizon employee thank you for proving that Verizon employees try to sell this charge as a tax as the people in the Verizon executive branch have denied that Verizon employees would ever try to say this is a tax. Per your agreement under the heading "What Charges Are Set by Verizon Wireless?":
"... our charges also include Federal Universal Service, Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also include other charges related to our governmental costs. We set these charges; they aren't taxes, they aren't required by law ..."
Finally trying to guilt me into just laying down and accepting increased fees and a disregard for a corporate agreement will serve no use, corporations have been abusing their customers long enough and consumers are getting tired of it.

I want to to just discuss a little about this post. First I am not representing Verizon Wireless or their legal department.
When you look at an adverse effect on a person it means that if our prices change that create a true hardship to our consumer then we will let you exit your contract. An an increase of 0.03 per month does not impact most consumers where they can not pay their bill or make their life hard to manage.
If you are looking for a way out of a contract that you signed then you should have gone prepay. Do not sign a contract and then try to create an issue when there is not one to be had.
Verizon pays more per month so the consumer does not need to pay as much. If you would like us to pass the cost of government taxes and surcharges to the customer let us know. Three cents is so small. Why would you think that would buy your contract out. Lets accept the commitment we made with a company for a discount on a phone and honor the commitment.
Respectfully,
