Verizon Fios review

Verizon Fios is the cheapest way onto a big-name fiber network if your address qualifies. The Fios page lists Fios 300 Mbps at $30 a month with Auto Pay and paper-free billing, and the plan table shows 300/300 Mbps, so uploads are as fast as downloads. Higher tiers run to 1 Gig, 2 Gig and 5 Gig, with Whole-Home Wi-Fi included on the larger plans. Verizon now attaches at least a 3-year price lock to Fios plans, rising to a 5-year guarantee on 2 Gig and 5 Gig, and it states there are no long-term contracts and no data caps. A router is included at no extra cost. The catches are the $99 setup fee, which Mobile + Home customers can have waived, and the fact that every listed price assumes the $10 Auto Pay discount. Verizon mobile customers can also add discounted streaming perks such as Netflix and HBO Max with ads for $13 a month.
