Verizon extends low-income internet offer through 2020

Verizon remains committed to ensuring customers stay connected now and moving forward, and announced plans to continue to help low-income consumers do just that through Verizon’s low-income Fios Internet program. New Fios customers who qualify for the low-income Lifeline discount program will receive a $20 per month discount on their home Internet service for as long as they remain eligible for the program, bringing the cost to as low as $19.99 per month for 200/200 Mbps internet with no data caps. New registrations will be accepted for the remainder of 2020.

Since April, the Fios low-income offer has helped customers hit by the economic downturn to manage financial challenges and meet the critical need to have internet access for remote learning or work during the pandemic. The program expands access to premium high-speed Fios internet (up to a Gigabit Connection) that delivers a better experience for video streaming and downloading or uploading content. As part of our effort to keep customers connected, Verizon will extend the current $20 discount through 2020 and waive the first 60 days of router rental charges for new customers. Customers must qualify for Lifeline, the U.S. government-backed program designed to make quality broadband internet more affordable for low-income customers, in order to receive the discount. Once qualified, customers can receive a $20 monthly discount to any Fios Home Internet Mix & Match plan.
