Verizon Home Internet Lite is a home internet solution designed to keep you connected in areas with limited broadband choices. This service uses our reliable cellular network to provide connectivity for your Wi-Fi devices at home.

Verizon offers two distinct Verizon home internet plans within the Lite category, specifically designed for households with simpler connectivity needs in areas where fiber or 5G Home Internet may not yet be available. Both plans provide an affordable alternative to traditional rural options like satellite or DSL.
