What are "standard" rates and fees?

I am looking to get a Fios internet-only plan in New York City. There are many promo pages like https://www.verizon.com/home/bundles/fios/ that advertise prices like "50/50 Mbps Internet $49.99/mo for year 1. $59.99/mo. for year 2w/2-yr. agmt. Plus taxes, equip. charges and other fees. Beg. mo. 25 stand. rates apply." What are these standard rates? I could not find this information anywhere on the website. I.e. if I had signed up two years ago and my promo rate were now expiring, or if I was signing up now but wasn't a "new" customer eligible for the promo rate, how much would the rate then be? Is it the same as year 2, another $10 higher, or something absurd like twice the promo rate?

 

Also, what are the "other taxes and fees"? There is a mention of a $10/month router rental fee which I intend to avoid by declining the router and hooking up directly via ethernet. But are there any other fees? I hope by skipping TV and phone I can also avoid the worst of the hidden fees associated with those, but are there any internet-specific fees (other than installation fee)? Is there a list of applicable fees anywhere? The Terms of Service here (https://www.verizon.com/about/sites/default/files/Internet_ToS_07242016.pdf) simply state: "You agree to pay the fees applicable... The taxes, fees and other charges detailed in (a)-(d) above may vary on a monthly basis." I am hesitant to agree to pay arbitrary fees without even knowing what they are. Especially when they can be changed any time like in https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Comcast-Sued-For-Misleading-Hidden-Fees-138136.

 

Basically I'm saying I would be more comfortable making this purchase decision if I knew the below-the-line monthly cost up front.
