Verizon's Fios home internet uses a fiber-optic cable network to provide fast and reliable service with plans ranging from 300 Mbps to 2 Gig download speeds. This means you'll be able to connect every device in your home for streaming, gaming, and browsing the web without risking a bottleneck or slowdown.
The 5G Home Ultimate plan offers an unlimited data cap as well as the fastest 5G internet speeds in your area. If neither Fios nor the 5G services are available where you live, the 4G LTE Home Plus plan offers basic home internet with speeds up to 50 Mbps.

To get your free Nintendo Switch, new customers must select a Fios, 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus internet plan, which start at $35 per month. Accounts must also be in good standing for at least 14 days, and Verizon reserves the right to charge the full retail price for the Switch console if the account is canceled within 180 days.
If you already have a Nintendo Switch, or aren't a gamer, Verizon has options for a free Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G tablet or a 43-inch Samsung Q7F TV. With a limit of one console/tablet/TV per Verizon account as well as a limited supply of Nintendo Switch devices, you won't want to wait to take advantage of this deal.
How I rated this deal
With both a free Nintendo Switch console and up to a five-year price lock guarantee, this Verizon Fios home internet deal is one of the better bundles I've seen. Not only will you get one of the hottest gaming consoles ever released, but you'll also be able to lock in special pricing for up to 60 months. And if you already have a Nintendo Switch or aren't much of a gamer, you can choose either a free 43-inch Samsung Q7F TV or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G tablet.
Verizon is offering a free Nintendo Switch console when you sign up for a Fios 2 Gig, Fios 1 Gig, 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus service until Dec. 23, 2025. However, with such a popular gaming console, supplies may run out well before the official end date.
