The same thing happened with me. The customer service person simply didn't care to mention that there will be a labor charge for the technician to come and check my Internet speed.

Neither the technician cared enough to mention that there will be a charge. 

Verizon simply went ahead and put it on my bill. This is unacceptable customer service. How can you charge me for something you haven't disclosed explicitly.

Hi jindna,

Have you contacted the billing department about the charge?  Please visit our Support page for a variety of ways to contact Verizon, including “Ask Verizon,” our virtual chat agent, and customer support phone numbers.  For billing issues, please contact Verizon during normal business hours.

I did. Twice spending over an hour with them.

And it seems Verizon doesn't care to tell the customer about these charges. They will simply add it to our bill and won't remove it. How can it be a legittimate charge when the customer isn't aware that it will be there or how much it will be?

This is unacceptable and I'll follow-it up with consumer bureau.
