Verizon Launches ‘Lite’ Home Internet Nationwide With Up to 25 Mbps

The low-speed tier targets households with limited broadband choices, with the $25 rate available only through stacked mobile and autopay discounts.

Overview

  • Service is available across the U.S. starting today, aimed at homes that have relied on older options like DSL or satellite.
  • Base price is $60 per month, lowered to an advertised $25 only by combining a $15 mobile-bundle discount, $10 for autopay and paperless billing, and a limited-time $10 monthly credit for eligible mobile customers who sign up before December 31.
  • Speeds top out at 25 Mbps, with typical performance of roughly 10–25 Mbps and throttling to about 10 Mbps after 150 GB of monthly use.
  • Rival offerings advertise far higher speeds and larger data thresholds, including T-Mobile and Mint Mobile plans up to 415 Mbps at roughly $50–$55 per month with throttling after about 1 TB or more.
  • Verizon frames Lite as a stopgap for light-use households as it pursues planned acquisitions of Frontier and Starry that are expected to broaden its fixed broadband footprint.
