To win over households that have outgrown ordinary broadband, Verizon has one of the best deals of the summer. Verizon’s Fios lineup now goes up to 5 Gig, and the carrier is leaning hard on the fact that faster service is only part of the appeal. The country’s largest wireless carrier is also drawing on predictability, with all-in pricing, no hidden fees, no equipment charges, no data caps, and long price-lock guarantees across the line.
What to Know About Verizon’s New 5 Gig Fios Plan
With the introduction of Verizon Fios 5 Gig, the company has taken its fiber-optic network to the next level. The new Fios 5 Gig push is aimed squarely at heavy internet users and backed by the reliability of Verizon’s 100% fiber-optic network. The plan delivers speeds over twice as fast as Verizon’s 2 Gig plan and 5x faster than a traditional 1 Gig home internet plan.
On the 5 Gig plan, Verizon also includes Whole-Home Wi-Fi, which comes with a Verizon Wi-Fi Extender for broader coverage. Positioned for gamers, streamers, creators, and smart-home users who need serious bandwidth without juggling bottlenecks, the company says the average wired download and upload speeds for the tier run from 4.5 Gbps to 5.3 Gbps.
How Much is the Verizon Fios 5 Gig Plan
Verizon’s Fios 5 Gig plan usually goes for $129.99, but the company has launched a limited-time offer:
- New customers can switch to Verizon Fios 5 Gig for only $90/month with a 5-year price guarantee.
- Existing Fios customers can upgrade to Verizon Fios 5 Gig and get a 3-year price lock.
Customers can lock in the savings by combining Verizon’s Auto Pay, Mobile + Home, and bonus discounts. All Verizon Fios plans include all-in pricing, no hidden taxes and fees, 99.9% network reliability, and a router.
Additionally, Verizon is also using perks to sweeten the deal. Fios 5 Gig customers who also have a Verizon mobile plan can get up to $10 per month toward eligible perks such as Netflix & Max (With Ads) or Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ (With Ads). Other bonus offers include $400 off select Samsung devices, a FOX One perk for three months, a discount on six months of YouTube TV, and Verizon Home Device Protect promo pricing.
Fios 5 Gig is the flashiest option, but Verizon’s lower tiers still come with the same basic promise of price stability and bundled equipment. Plans start at $59.99 per month, and Verizon Fios has options for every household instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. A smaller household can go cheaper and still get a long price guarantee, while power users can climb into multi-gig territory without wondering when the bill will jump.
With speed, Wi-Fi hardware, and price protection in one package, if you’re tired of watching the bill creep up, Verizon’s stability may be the biggest upgrade of all.
