Verizon 5G Home Internet is a good fit for Verizon phone customers who cannot get Fios. The 5G page lists the base 5G Home plan at $35 a month when you use Auto Pay and paper-free billing and have a postpaid Verizon mobile phone plan; before those discounts the plan is $60. 5G Home Plus and 5G Home Ultimate cost $45 and $60 with the same discounts. Verizon describes the pricing as all-in, with no hidden taxes, fees or equipment charges, which makes the bill easier to predict than most. Every plan includes unlimited data and a router, and the price lock runs 3 years on the base plan, 4 on Plus and 5 on Ultimate. Ultimate adds Whole-Home Wi-Fi, an extender, 4K streaming and a free router upgrade after 3 years. A 30-day money back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it. Without a Verizon phone line the discounts shrink, and coverage decides whether it is offered at all.
