Verizon is launching a new āLiteā home internet plan for people in areas previously not covered by its fiber and 5G internet. The new plan offers download speeds of up to 25Mbps, but it costs as much as $60 per month without any discounts.
Verizon says its Lite plan is best for ālightā internet usage in homes limited to āolder, less reliable options like DSL or satellite.ā Customers who already use Verizon for their postpaid mobile phone service will benefit the most from the heavy discounts. Youāll save $15 / month when the service is combined with a mobile plan.
Itās also offering a $10 monthly discount for paperless billing and autopay, along with an additional $10 discount available for three years if mobile phone customers sign up before December 31st. All these discounts bring the price down to $25 per month.
Though Verizonās Lite plan may be ultra-cheap if youāre able to take advantage of the price cuts, itās quite slow when compared to other budget internet plans. T-Mobileās cheapest home internet plan, for example, costs up to $55 per month for download speeds up to 415Mbps.
Verizon will throttle your service by up to 10Mbps after the first 150GB of data usage in one month, while T-Mobile will start slowing down internet speeds if customers use more than 1.2TB in one month. Like T-Mobile, Mint Mobileās new prepaid home internet plan also offers download speeds of up to 415Mbps, but it will start throttling data after 1TB of usage and costs up to $50 per month.
