Current Fios tiers span 300 Mbps to 2 Gig with no annual contracts, no data caps, multi-year price guarantees, and equipment included on many offers \u2014 with advertised rates starting at $49.99\/mo with Auto Pay (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/internet\/\">Verizon Fios Internet<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">Verizon 5G Home Internet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legacy DSL is being phased out for new customers; where fiber isn\u2019t available, Verizon extends coverage via 5G Home Internet (and LTE Home where 5G isn\u2019t offered). This widens overall home-internet availability far beyond the Fios fiber footprint while keeping the same simple, contract-free pricing model and no data caps (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">Verizon 5G Home Internet<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/lte-home-internet\/\">Verizon LTE Home Internet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the service experience side, independent benchmarks such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdpower.com\/business\/press-releases\/2024-us-wireless-customer-care-study\">J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Wireless Customer Care Study<\/a> (1,000-point scale) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theacsi.org\/news-and-resources\/press-releases\">American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI)<\/a> provide current, apples-to-apples customer satisfaction measures across telecom brands.

The core tiers are 300\/300 ($49.99), 500\/500 ($69.99), and near\u2011gigabit ($89.99), with a 2 Gig option ($119.99) in select areas. Verizon lists multi\u2011year price guarantees and whether the router\/Whole\u2011Home Wi\u2011Fi gear is included directly on each plan card (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/internet\/\">Verizon Fios Internet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Value snapshot (downstream $\/Mbps): Fios 300 \u2248 $0.17, Fios 500 \u2248 $0.14, Fios 1 Gig \u2248 $0.09, Fios 2 Gig \u2248 $0.06 \u2014 illustrating how higher tiers lower the price-per-Mbps (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/internet\/\">Fios plan cards<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which tier fits? Small households and hybrid workers typically do well on Fios 300; multi-user homes with frequent 4K streams and large downloads benefit from Fios 500 or 1 Gig; creators and multi\u2011gig LAN users should consider Fios 2 Gig where available (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/internet\/\">Fios availability by address<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Fios plans are contract-free and advertise no data caps; equipment is included on many offers (check your address for exact inclusions and any setup-charge waivers at checkout) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">Fios plans<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DSL Internet Plans, Speed, and Data<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Verizon no longer markets new stand\u2011alone DSL to most consumers. Outside the Fios footprint, Verizon focuses on Home Internet over 5G (and LTE where 5G isn\u2019t available) with two simple 5G plans: 5G Home ($50\/mo) and 5G Home Plus ($70\/mo), each with no annual contracts, no data caps, and equipment included (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">5G Home Internet<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/home\/lte-home-internet\/\">LTE Home Internet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical speed ranges and latency for 5G Home vary by address, 5G signal quality, and local network load; Verizon shows expected ranges and price guarantees on the plan page at order time. LTE Home offers a similar experience where 5G isn\u2019t present, with lower, location\u2011dependent speeds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">5G Home Internet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some cable providers that enforce monthly data caps \u2014 for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xfinity.com\/learn\/internet-service\/data\">Xfinity<\/a> notes a 1.2 TB cap in many markets \u2014 Verizon does not cap data on Fios or Home Internet.

Many existing Fios locations qualify for Self\u2011Install; you connect the ONT to a Verizon Router (Wi\u2011Fi 6\/6E) via Ethernet and activate in the app. Select Fios plans include the router, and higher tiers may include Whole\u2011Home Wi\u2011Fi extenders; details appear on the plan card and at checkout (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/residential\/internet\/fios-internet\/self-install\">Fios self-install<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">Fios plans<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/residential\/internet\/equipment\/whole-home-wifi\">Whole\u2011Home Wi\u2011Fi<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5G\/LTE Home (fixed wireless): A plug\u2011and\u2011play gateway (modem+router) is included with service and is designed for self\u2011setup. The app helps you place the device for the best signal; no separate install fee applies for standard self\u2011setup (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">5G Home setup<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also pick up equipment at a nearby location if offered for your order; see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/residential\/account\/manage-service\/store-locations\">Fios Location<\/a> options during checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer using your own router on Fios, Verizon allows BYOR with limited support; some TV\/voice features may require a Verizon router or specific configurations (e.g., MoCA) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/support\/residential\/internet\/equipment\/own-router\">Use your own router<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contracts and Fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Current Fios and 5G Home offers are month\u2011to\u2011month with no annual contracts or early termination fees.

See Verizon\u2019s announcement for context and current Fios TV options (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\">Verizon announced<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model emphasizes transparent pricing and flexibility. Some customers may miss legacy bundle discounts, but the change reduces hidden fees and surprise contract escalators common in legacy bundles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For streaming alternatives and device compatibility alongside Fios Internet or 5G Home, check plan pages at checkout for bundles and perk options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customer service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To gauge service quality, consult current, named benchmarks.
