Verizon Fios – Best fiber option
Verizon’s three internet plans are listed in the following table. Because Verizon Fios is a fiber-optic internet service, the connection is extremely reliable, and network congestion does not affect speeds. Upload speeds are virtually the same as the download speeds, making this provider a great choice if you need to upload many photos, videos or other large files.
Additional charges include a one-time $99 setup fee, which is waived if you sign up for the fastest plan. If you bundle Verizon Fios with a qualifying Verizon wireless plan, you can a $20–$25/mo. internet discount.
The Verizon Wi-Fi router is included for free on all plans. Larger homes can add Whole-Home Wi-Fi with one Wi-Fi extender for $10/mo. or Whole-Home W-Fi Plus with three Wi-Fi extenders for $15/mo. However, purchasing your own Wi-Fi extenders is cheaper than renting the devices over time.
