Verizon provides accessible, affordable and reliable connectivity options for those who need it most
April 15 2024 - 9:20AM
Verizon is committed to providing households with access to
high-quality connectivity and reliable home internet without data
caps, and does not believe that income should be a barrier to
accessing it.
Funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program,
which has helped nearly 23 million households across the nation
connect to the internet, is expected to end soon. However,
Verizon’s commitment to keeping families connected will
continue.
Verizon Forward: Home Internet for as low
as $20. Plus, new offer brings
cost down to $0 per month1In 2020, we launched Verizon
Forward to help customers access affordable and reliable broadband,
and we will continue to offer the program to customers who qualify.
Verizon Forward offers Verizon Home Internet (Fios, 5G Home and LTE
Home) for as low as $20 per month, and is available to new and
existing Verizon customers.
To further help bridge the gap to cover the cost of
home internet, Verizon recently launched a limited-time offer: An
additional discount for new Verizon Forward subscribers that brings
the cost of home internet down to $0 per month for six
months.
Unlike other providers’ home internet assistance
programs, Verizon Forward provides discounts on our standard
in-market service options, with the speed and capacity needed for
the multi-user demands of families for at-home work, learning and
entertainment. Get details on the offer by visiting the Verizon
Forward site:
https://www.verizon.com/discounts/verizon-forward/.
What do
customers get? Verizon Forward features the same service,
reliability and choice that comes with being a Verizon customer to
those who need access the most. For example, Fios speeds they get
with Verizon Forward start at 300/300 Mbps.Other providers'
programs limit subscribers to slower speeds and fewer features than
in the services they offer to the general public. But with Verizon
Forward, customers can choose the plan that works best for their
families; and, even our lowest-cost plans have no data caps,
equipment charges or annual contracts. Verizon Forward customers
also have access to all limited-time promotions offered through
Verizon when they sign up.
Who is eligible
for Verizon Forward? Verizon Forward is available to new
and existing Verizon customers and eligibility does not require
Auto Pay or a Verizon wireless mobile plan to enroll. Households
with 5G Home, LTE Home – and ACP transfer-in customers – may be
eligible for Verizon Forward if they activate Verizon Home Internet
service on an eligible plan, as well as households meeting
additional eligibility income criteria. Plus, Verizon Forward can
be combined with other discounts, like Lifeline and the Military
& Veterans Discount.
Additional savings for prepaid mobility
customersVerizon will provide ACP customers in the Verizon
Value portfolio of prepaid brands, including Straight Talk,
Tracfone, Total by Verizon, Simple Mobile, SafeLink, Walmart Family
Mobile, Net10, GoSmart and Page Plus, with the full ACP credit of
$30 for the month of May as the government program winds down. In
addition to our no-contract, no-credit check plans, Verizon will
continue to lead in the Lifeline program, providing eligible
individuals with mobile connectivity, at no cost, through our
SafeLink brand. To help customers transition from ACP, we will
provide at no cost 10 GBs of data (more than twice that required to
participate in Lifeline) to Lifeline-enrolled customers on
Verizon’s award-winning network on our SafeLink brand. We will also
expand the brands to which customers will be able to apply their
Lifeline discount, enabling eligible customers to purchase the
services of their choosing at a discounted rate, as well as offer
discounted services on additional prepaid brands.
Citizen Verizon In 2020, Verizon
created Citizen Verizon, our responsible business plan for
economic, environmental and social advancement, which includes
efforts to drive greater digital inclusion. In total, with Citizen
Verizon and other investments, Verizon’s five-year responsible
business spend is expected to exceed $3 billion by 2025.
Verizon will continue its commitment to providing
affordable access to connectivity for those who need it most.
