Verizon survey finds 51M Americans don’t know what they pay for Home Internet
June 02 2022 - 08:30AM
A survey commissioned by Verizon found 51 million Americans don’t
know how much they spend on their home internet – and those who do
estimate paying an average of $137 per month1 – or more than five
times the price Verizon offers. With rising gas, food and home
utility prices forcing Americans to find ways to save, Verizon is
helping customers by offering Home Internet for just $25 per month2
with no promotional price creep – a fraction of what they think
they’re currently paying. That’s home Internet for less than $1 per
day per month.
“Now more than ever, it’s important to stretch your dollars and
taking stock of your phone and Internet bills to see where you can
save is a great start,” said Frank Boulben, chief revenue officer
of Verizon Consumer Group. “Consumers should know they don’t need
to be locked into one expensive Internet provider. Verizon Home
Internet is a new option offered around the country at an
incredible value, plus all the perks that go along with being a
Verizon customer.”
