Verizon Home Internet covers five separate plans, not one product. Prices with Auto Pay and a Verizon mobile line run from $35/mo for the entry-level Lite or 5G Home plan up to $60/mo for 5G Home Ultimate, and the plan you land on changes your download speed, your price-lock length, and whether a technician shows up or you install it yourself.
What each Verizon Home Internet plan actually costs
Verizon’s homepage leads with “starting at $30” and buries the plan-by-plan breakdown behind a bundle offer. Here is the real table, pulled straight from Verizon’s own plan and FAQ pages as of September 2026, with the discounted price that requires Auto Pay plus any Verizon mobile line.
| Plan | Price w/ discounts | Download speed | Price guarantee | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verizon Home Internet Lite | $35/mo | Up to 25 Mbps | 3 years | Unlimited, throttled after 150GB |
| Verizon Home Internet Lite Extra | $55/mo | Up to 25 Mbps | 4 years | Unlimited, throttled after 200GB |
| 5G Home | $35/mo | Up to 100 Mbps | 3 years | Unlimited |
| 5G Home Plus | $45/mo | Up to 150 Mbps | 4 years | Unlimited premium |
| 5G Home Ultimate | $60/mo | Up to 300 Mbps | 5 years | Unlimited premium |
Without Auto Pay and a mobile line, every one of those prices jumps. 5G Home Ultimate alone goes from $60/mo to $85/mo. The router is included at no extra charge on every plan, and none of them carry an annual contract.

5G Home vs 5G Home Plus vs 5G Home Ultimate
All three run on Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network and ship the same plug-and-play Internet Gateway router, with pricing that requires Auto Pay plus a Verizon mobile line. The differences show up in speed and in what’s bundled with each tier.
5G Home runs $35/mo and caps out at 1080p streaming with a 3-year price lock. 5G Home Plus runs $45/mo, adds unlimited premium data, and holds a 4-year lock at 150 Mbps. 5G Home Ultimate runs $60/mo and is the only tier with 4K streaming, Whole-Home Wi-Fi with an optional extender, a 5-year price lock, and free professional setup where it’s available.
If 5G Home Internet isn’t offered at your address, the entry point becomes Verizon Home Internet Lite at the same $35/mo starting price, capped at 25 Mbps and meant for basic browsing and email rather than streaming or gaming.
Why you won’t find 4G LTE Home Internet as a new sign-up
Verizon’s own coverage checker still lists “Verizon Home Internet (Wireless)” as a category, but the LTE Home and LTE Home Plus plans inside it are closed to new customers. Verizon’s 5G Home FAQ confirms it: existing LTE Home subscribers can switch between LTE plans, but nobody can sign up for LTE Home fresh.
If an address doesn’t qualify for 5G Home, the current replacement is Verizon Home Internet Lite, not LTE. Any guide still pointing new customers toward “4G LTE Home Internet” as an option to order is describing a plan Verizon no longer sells.
How to self-install the Verizon Internet Gateway
Every 5G Home and Lite plan ships the same Internet Gateway router, and Verizon’s own setup documentation lays out one consistent process for getting it online.
- Unbox the Gateway, power adapter, and Ethernet cable, and set the router on a stable surface near a window.
- Plug in the power adapter. The light blinks white, sometimes flickering red, for up to five minutes while it starts up.
- Wait for a solid white light. That confirms the Gateway has a signal and setup is complete.
- If the light turns solid red instead, move the Gateway closer to a window or a different spot and let it reconnect.
- Connect your devices using the Wi-Fi name and password printed on the bottom of the Gateway, or scan the QR code there.
- Open the My Verizon app to rename the network, set a custom password, and manage connected devices going forward.
The steps to change your wifi name and password work the same once the Gateway is online, same as on any other router. A weak signal in back rooms is usually a placement problem the Gateway’s own compass tool can help fix. It is worth reading how to increase internet speed before blaming the plan itself.
Anyone still shopping and unsure whether a carrier gateway beats a standalone router should also see how to pick a wifi router for home, since Whole-Home Wi-Fi only ships free on the Ultimate tier.
FAQ
Does Verizon Home Internet require a Verizon phone plan?
No. Every plan works without one, but the discounted prices above require both Auto Pay and an active Verizon mobile line. Skip the mobile bundle and the price rises by $15/mo.
Can I get 5G Home Internet without paying for professional installation?
Yes. 5G Home, 5G Home Plus, and both Verizon Home Internet Lite plans are self-install by default, with no technician visit required. Only 5G Home Ultimate includes free professional setup, and only in areas where it’s offered.
What happens if I exceed the data cap on the Lite plan?
Nothing gets cut off. Speeds drop to roughly 10 Mbps download for the rest of that billing cycle: after 150GB on the Lite plan, after 200GB on Lite Extra. Both 5G Home plans and both premium 5G Home tiers carry no such data cap at all.
