Dealer Opportunity | New revenue stream, bundle with mobile plans, serve underserved customers |
Verizon has just launched Verizon Home Internet Lite, a game-changing affordable internet plan priced at just $25/month for customers with Verizon mobile service—and this represents a massive new revenue opportunity for cell phone store dealers. Unlike Verizon's premium 5G Home and LTE Home Internet offerings, Home Internet Lite targets underserved rural and suburban markets where customers have historically been stuck with expensive, unreliable DSL or satellite internet. For dealers, this means access to an entirely new customer segment: budget-conscious households, rural residents, light internet users, and customers who've been priced out of traditional broadband—all while earning commissions on both internet and mobile plan bundles.
Here's why Verizon Home Internet Lite matters for your dealership: First, the $25/month promotional price (with a Verizon mobile plan) undercuts satellite providers by $40+ per month, making it an easy sell to price-sensitive customers. Second, the plan includes a 3-year price guarantee, giving customers stability and reducing churn. Third, it expands Verizon's home internet footprint nationwide—meaning dealers in markets previously excluded from 5G Home or Fios can now sell home internet. Fourth, bundling Home Internet Lite with mobile plans creates sticky, high-value customers who are less likely to switch carriers. And fifth, the plan's simplicity (free router, self-setup, no contracts) makes it easy to sell and reduces support headaches.
This comprehensive dealer guide covers everything you need to know about selling Verizon Home Internet Lite: plan details and pricing structure, target customer profiles, how it compares to competitors, sales strategies and scripts, bundling tactics to maximize revenue, commission structure and dealer compensation, objection handling, technical specifications, eligibility and coverage, marketing approaches, and a complete 30-day action plan to ramp up Home Internet Lite sales in your store. Whether you're a Verizon authorized retailer, indirect agent, or premium dealer, this plan opens doors to customers you couldn't serve before—and creates recurring revenue streams that boost your bottom line month after month.

Verizon Home Internet Lite vs. Competitors: Dealer Talking Points
Position Verizon Home Internet Lite against competitors to win sales.
Verizon Home Internet Lite vs. Satellite Internet (HughesNet, Viasat):
Factor | Verizon Home Internet Lite | Satellite Internet |
Price | $25/month (with mobile plan) | $60-80/month |
Speeds | Up to 25 Mbps | 12-25 Mbps (advertised, often slower) |
Data Cap | 150 GB at full speed, then 10 Mbps (unlimited) | 15-40 GB hard cap, then $10/GB overage |
Latency | Low (cellular network) | High (500-800ms - unusable for video calls/gaming) |
Weather Impact | None | Outages during rain, snow, storms |
Setup | Free router, self-install | $100-300 equipment + professional install |
Contract | No contract | 2-year contract typically required |
Dealer Talking Points:
"Satellite internet costs $60-80 a month, has tiny data caps, and goes out every time it rains. Home Internet Lite is $25, gives you 150 GB at full speed, and runs on Verizon's reliable network—no weather issues. You'll save $40+ every month and actually have internet you can count on."
Verizon Home Internet Lite vs. DSL (AT&T, CenturyLink, Frontier):
Factor | Verizon Home Internet Lite | Rural DSL |
Price | $25/month | $40-60/month |
Speeds | Up to 25 Mbps | 1-10 Mbps (often much slower) |
Reliability | Verizon's award-winning network | Aging copper lines, frequent outages |
Setup | Free router, self-install | Technician visit required ($50-100) |
Technology | Modern 5G/4G LTE | Outdated copper phone lines |
Dealer Talking Points:
"DSL is old technology running on phone lines from the 1960s. You're lucky if you get 5 Mbps, and it goes out constantly. Home Internet Lite gives you up to 25 Mbps on Verizon's modern network for only $25 a month. That's faster, more reliable, and cheaper than DSL."
Verizon Home Internet Lite vs. T-Mobile Home Internet:
Factor | Verizon Home Internet Lite | T-Mobile Home Internet |
Price | $25/month (with mobile), $60 standalone | $50/month (with mobile), $60 standalone |
Speeds | Up to 25 Mbps | 33-182 Mbps (variable, deprioritized) |
Data Cap | 150 GB at full speed, then 10 Mbps | Unlimited (but deprioritized during congestion) |
Price Guarantee | 3 years at $25/month | Price lock as long as customer keeps plan |
Network | Verizon (most reliable in rural areas) | T-Mobile (weaker rural coverage) |
Dealer Talking Points:
"T-Mobile's home internet is $50 a month, and their rural coverage isn't as strong as Verizon's. Home Internet Lite is only $25 if you have Verizon mobile, and you're on the most reliable network. If you're in a rural area, Verizon's coverage is going to be way better than T-Mobile."
Verizon Home Internet Lite vs. Verizon 5G Home Internet:
Factor | Home Internet Lite | 5G Home Internet |
Price | $25/month (with mobile) | $35-60/month (with mobile) |
Speeds | Up to 25 Mbps | 85-1,000+ Mbps |
Data Cap | 150 GB at full speed | Unlimited (no cap) |
Availability | Nationwide (rural/underserved areas) | Limited to select cities with 5G Ultra Wideband |
Target Market | Light users, budget-conscious, rural | Heavy users, urban/suburban, high-speed needs |
Dealer Talking Points:
"If 5G Home is available at your address, that's the better option if you need faster speeds and unlimited data. But if you're outside the 5G Home coverage area, Home Internet Lite is your best choice—it's only $25 a month and gives you reliable internet where you couldn't get it before."
When to Recommend Each Verizon Home Internet Product:
Fios: Available in dense urban areas, fastest speeds (300-940 Mbps), $50-90/month, fiber-to-home
5G Home: Available in select cities with 5G Ultra Wideband, 85-1,000+ Mbps, $35-60/month, unlimited data, heavy users
LTE Home: Rural areas, 25-50 Mbps, $40-60/month, unlimited data, moderate users
Home Internet Lite: Underserved areas, up to 25 Mbps, $25/month, 150 GB, light users, budget-conscious
Sales Strategies for Verizon Home Internet Lite
Maximize your Verizon Home Internet Lite sales with these proven tactics.
Strategy 1: Bundle with Mobile Plans (Highest Success Rate)
Why Bundling Works:
Customer automatically qualifies for $25/month rate
Creates sticky, high-value customer (less likely to churn)
Increases total customer lifetime value
Easier to sell two services together than separately
One bill simplifies customer experience
Bundling Scenarios:
Scenario 1: New Mobile Customer Activation
"Great! I'm getting you set up with the Unlimited Plus plan at $80 a month. Quick question—do you have home internet? [Customer responds] Perfect! Since you're getting Verizon mobile, you qualify for Home Internet Lite at just $25 a month. That's way cheaper than what most people pay, and you'll have WiFi at home for all your devices. Let me check if it's available at your address... [Check eligibility] You're good to go! Want me to add it? It's only $25, and your first router is free."
Scenario 2: Existing Mobile Customer Upgrade/Renewal
"I see you've been with Verizon for 3 years—thanks for your loyalty! While I'm updating your plan, let me ask: are you happy with your home internet? [Customer responds] Well, Verizon just launched Home Internet Lite at $25 a month for mobile customers like you. It's way more affordable than most options, and since you're already with us, adding it is super easy. Let me check your address... [Check] You qualify! Want to add it and save some money?"
Scenario 3: Family Plan Addition
"So you're adding a line for your daughter—awesome. That brings your total to $150 a month for three lines. Here's something that'll help: Home Internet Lite is only $25 a month for Verizon customers. If your daughter needs WiFi for homework or you want to stop using your phone's hotspot at home, this is perfect. It's basically the cost of a couple coffees, and you'll have dedicated home internet. Want me to add it?"
Strategy 2: Target Existing Verizon Mobile Customers (Low-Hanging Fruit)
Proactive Outreach:
Review your customer database for Verizon mobile customers without home internet
Send targeted text/email campaigns about Home Internet Lite
Call customers during slow periods to offer the service
Mention it during every in-store interaction
Text Message Template:
"Hi [Name], it's [Your Name] from [Store Name]. Great news! As a Verizon mobile customer, you now qualify for Home Internet Lite at just $25/month. That's way cheaper than most internet options. Want me to check if it's available at your address? Reply YES and I'll look it up for you!"
Email Template:
Subject: You Qualify for $25/Month Home Internet! "Hi [Name], As a valued Verizon mobile customer, you now qualify for Verizon Home Internet Lite at just $25 per month—that's $40+ less than most internet providers! What You Get: ✅ Up to 25 Mbps speed ✅ 150 GB data at full speed ✅ Free router included ✅ Easy self-setup ✅ 3-year price guarantee Perfect for email, browsing, streaming, and video calls. No contract required. Stop by [Store Name] or call me at (555) 123-4567 to check availability and get started! Best, [Your Name]"
Strategy 3: Lead with Price (Overcome Sticker Shock)
Why Price-First Works:
$25/month is shockingly affordable (gets attention)
Customers expect to pay $50-80 for internet
Price creates immediate interest and urgency
Positions you as helping customer save money
Price-First Script:
"Can I show you something that'll save you money? Verizon just launched home internet for $25 a month. Most people pay $60-80, so this is a huge deal. It's up to 25 Mbps, which is perfect for most households, and you get 150 GB of data. If you have Verizon mobile—or if you're thinking about switching—you qualify for the $25 rate. Want me to check if it's available at your house?"
Strategy 4: Address Coverage Gaps (Underserved Markets)
Identify Underserved Areas:
Rural communities without cable/fiber
Suburban areas with only DSL or satellite
Customers who mention poor internet options
Areas outside Verizon 5G Home footprint
Coverage Gap Script:
"I know internet options are really limited out here. Most folks are stuck with slow DSL or expensive satellite. Verizon just launched Home Internet Lite specifically for areas like yours—it's $25 a month, runs on our cellular network, and gives you up to 25 Mbps. That's way faster and more reliable than what you probably have now. Let me check your address and see if we can get you set up."
Strategy 5: Educate on Data Usage (Overcome 150 GB Concern)
Common Objection: "Is 150 GB enough?"
Response:
"Great question! 150 GB is actually plenty for most people. Here's what it covers: unlimited email and browsing, about 5 hours of streaming per day in standard definition, tons of video calls, and all your social media. If you're not streaming 4K movies all day or downloading huge files, you'll be totally fine. And even if you go over, your internet doesn't shut off—it just slows to 10 Mbps, which still works for most things. Plus, it resets every month."
Visual Aid (Show Customer):
Activity | 150 GB Supports |
Email & Web Browsing | Unlimited |
Netflix (SD) | 150 hours (5 hrs/day) |
Zoom Calls | 200 hours |
Social Media | 300 hours |
Music Streaming | 1,000 hours |
Strategy 6: Leverage Verizon Forward (Maximize Affordability)
Verizon Forward Eligibility:
Customers on federal assistance programs (SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, etc.)
Reduces Home Internet Lite to as low as $20/month
Additional discounts in some states (NY Affordable Broadband Act)
Verizon Forward Script:
"One more thing—if you're on any federal assistance programs like SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI, you might qualify for Verizon Forward, which brings the price down to $20 a month. That's the most affordable internet you'll find anywhere. Let me check if you qualify... [Check eligibility] You do! So instead of $25, you'll pay $20. That's an incredible deal."
Strategy 7: In-Store Signage and Promotion
Effective Signage:
Window Poster: "NEW! Verizon Home Internet - $25/Month"
Counter Sign: "Ask About $25 Home Internet!"
Shelf Talker: "Bundle & Save: Mobile + Home Internet = $25/mo"
Digital Display: Rotating slides showing Home Internet Lite benefits
Strategy 8: Overcome "I'll Think About It" Objection
Objection: "Let me think about it / I need to talk to my spouse."
Response:
"Totally understand! Here's what I'll do: let me check if it's available at your address right now, so you have all the info when you talk it over. [Check availability] Great, you're eligible! Here's a quick summary: $25 a month, up to 25 Mbps, 150 GB data, free router, no contract. The price is locked in for 3 years, so you won't see surprise increases. When you're ready, just give me a call or stop back in—I'll have everything ready to go. Sound good?"
Follow-Up Text (Next Day):
"Hi [Name], it's [Your Name] from [Store]. Just wanted to follow up on the Home Internet Lite we talked about yesterday. I confirmed it's available at your address, and I can get you set up in 5 minutes whenever you're ready. At $25/month, it's a no-brainer! Let me know if you have any questions. 😊"
Objection Handling for Verizon Home Internet Lite Sales
Overcome common objections to close more Verizon Home Internet Lite sales.
Objection 1: "Is 25 Mbps fast enough?"
Response:
"Great question! 25 Mbps is perfect for most households. It handles email, web browsing, video calls, and streaming without any issues. You can stream Netflix in HD, do Zoom calls, and have multiple devices connected at once. Now, if you're downloading huge files or streaming 4K on multiple TVs at the same time, you might want faster speeds—but for typical use, 25 Mbps is more than enough. What do you mainly use internet for? [Listen] Yeah, 25 Mbps will handle that no problem."
Objection 2: "What happens when I hit 150 GB?"
Response:
"After 150 GB, your speed drops to 10 Mbps for the rest of the month—but your internet doesn't shut off. 10 Mbps still works fine for email, browsing, and even streaming in standard definition. Most people never hit 150 GB unless they're streaming 4K all day. And it resets every month, so you start fresh. Think of it like this: you get full speed for your normal use, and if you go over, you still have internet—it's just a bit slower. No overage fees, no surprise charges."
Objection 3: "I don't have Verizon mobile, so it's $60/month—that's not a deal."
Response:
"You're right—standalone it's $60, which is the same as a lot of other options. But here's the thing: if you bundle it with Verizon mobile, it drops to $25. So if you're thinking about switching carriers anyway, or if you're unhappy with your current provider, this is a great opportunity to save on both. Let me show you our mobile plans... [Show plans] If you switch to Verizon Unlimited for $80 and add Home Internet Lite for $25, your total is $105 for mobile and internet. Compare that to paying $60-80 for internet alone plus whatever you're paying for mobile—you'll save money and have everything with one reliable provider."
Objection 4: "I'm already paying $50 for internet—why switch?"
Response:
"If you're happy with what you have, that's great! Buthere's what makes Home Internet Lite worth considering: you'll save $25 a month, which is $300 a year. Over 3 years, that's $900 in your pocket. Plus, Verizon's network is super reliable, and the price is locked in for 3 years—no surprise increases. If you're getting similar speeds now and paying $50, switching to $25 is basically free money. Want me to check if it's available at your address? Worst case, you stick with what you have. Best case, you save $300 a year."
Objection 5: "I need faster speeds for gaming/streaming."
Response:
"Totally understand—if you're a heavy gamer or streaming 4K on multiple devices, Home Internet Lite might not be the best fit. Let me check if Verizon 5G Home is available at your address... [Check] [If available] Great! 5G Home gives you 85-1,000+ Mbps with unlimited data for $35-60 a month. That's way better for gaming and heavy streaming. [If not available] Unfortunately, 5G Home isn't available yet in your area, but you might want to look at our LTE Home option, which offers 25-50 Mbps. Or, if you're willing to work with 25 Mbps and manage your data, Home Internet Lite at $25 is still a solid budget option."
Objection 6: "I've heard cellular internet is unreliable."
Response:
"That's a fair concern, but Verizon's network is different. We've been rated the most reliable network for years, and Home Internet Lite runs on the same network your phone uses. If you get good Verizon signal at your house, the internet will be reliable. Plus, it's way more reliable than satellite—no weather outages—and more consistent than old DSL lines. The best part? There's no contract, so if you try it and it doesn't work well, you can cancel anytime. But most customers are really happy with it, especially compared to what they had before."
Objection 7: "I don't want to deal with setup."
Response:
"Setup is super easy—way easier than traditional internet. The router comes in the mail, you plug it in, follow the simple instructions, and you're online in 5-10 minutes. No waiting for a technician, no drilling holes, no complicated installation. If you can plug in a lamp, you can set this up. And if you have any trouble, Verizon's tech support is available 24/7 to walk you through it. Most people are surprised how simple it is."
Objection 8: "What if I move?"
Response:
"Great question! Since there's no contract, you can cancel anytime without penalty. If you move and Home Internet Lite is available at your new address, you just take the router with you and update your address—super easy. If it's not available at your new place, you cancel, return the router, and that's it. No early termination fees, no hassle. It's one of the most flexible internet options out there."
Objection 9: "I'll just use my phone's hotspot."
Response:
"I get it—hotspot works in a pinch. But here's the problem: it drains your phone battery like crazy, it eats into your mobile data, and it's not great for multiple devices. Home Internet Lite gives you dedicated WiFi at home for $25 a month—your phone stays charged, you don't touch your mobile data, and everyone in the house can connect their devices. Plus, you get 150 GB just for home internet, separate from your phone. For $25, it's worth having real home WiFi instead of constantly using your hotspot."
Objection 10: "I need to check with my spouse/family first."
Response:
"Absolutely—smart to talk it over! Here's what I'll do: let me give you a quick summary sheet with all the details, and I'll check availability at your address so you have everything you need for the conversation. [Check and provide info] Here you go: $25 a month, up to 25 Mbps, 150 GB data, free router, no contract, 3-year price lock. When you're ready, just give me a call at (555) 123-4567 or stop back in. I can get you set up in 5 minutes. Sound good?"

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use my own router?
A: No, you must use the Verizon-provided router because it contains the cellular modem required to connect to Verizon's network. However, you can connect your own WiFi router to the Verizon router via Ethernet if you prefer your own WiFi network.
Q: What happens if I exceed 150 GB?
A: Your speeds are reduced to up to 10 Mbps for the rest of your billing cycle. Service continues—it doesn't shut off. There are no overage charges. Your full-speed allowance resets at the start of your next billing cycle.
Q: Can I upgrade to unlimited data?
A: Home Internet Lite does not offer an unlimited upgrade option. If you need unlimited data, consider Verizon 5G Home Internet (if available in your area) or LTE Home Internet, both of which offer unlimited data.
Q: Does weather affect Home Internet Lite?
A: Unlike satellite internet, Home Internet Lite runs on Verizon's cellular network and is not affected by rain, snow, or storms. However, extreme weather that damages cell towers could impact service (rare).
Q: Can I take the router with me when I travel?
A: No, Home Internet Lite is designed for use at your registered service address only. The router is geo-locked and will not work at other locations. If you move, you must update your service address.
Q: How long does setup take?
A: Most customers complete setup in 5-10 minutes. Simply plug in the router, wait for it to connect to Verizon's network (indicated by lights), and connect your devices to the WiFi network using the credentials on the router label.
Q: What if I have poor cellular signal at my house?
A: Home Internet Lite requires adequate Verizon cellular signal to function properly. If you have poor Verizon signal at your location, Home Internet Lite may not perform well. Check eligibility carefully and consider signal strength before recommending to customers.
Q: Can I use VoIP phone service with Home Internet Lite?
A: Yes, 25 Mbps is sufficient for VoIP phone service. However, if you exceed your 150 GB data allowance and speeds drop to 10 Mbps, VoIP quality may be affected during peak usage times.
Q: Is there a data rollover option?
A: No, unused data does not roll over to the next month. Your 150 GB allowance resets at the beginning of each billing cycle regardless of how much you used the previous month.
Q: Can I pause or suspend service temporarily?
A: Verizon may offer seasonal suspension options for customers who only need service part of the year (e.g., vacation homes). Contact Verizon customer service for details on suspension policies and fees.
Q: What's the return policy if I'm not satisfied?
A: Verizon typically offers a 30-day return/cancellation period. Customers can cancel within 30 days and return the router for a full refund. Check current Verizon policies for specific terms.
Q: Does Home Internet Lite support gaming?
A: Home Internet Lite can support casual gaming, but serious gamers may find 25 Mbps and potential latency limitations challenging for competitive online gaming. Latency is better than satellite but may not match wired broadband.
Conclusion: Verizon Home Internet Lite is a Game-Changer for Dealers
Verizon Home Internet Lite represents a significant opportunity for cell phone store dealers to expand revenue, serve underserved customer segments, and increase customer lifetime value through bundling. At just $25/month for Verizon mobile customers, this plan fills a critical gap in the market—providing affordable, reliable internet to rural and budget-conscious households who have historically been stuck with expensive satellite or slow DSL.
Key Dealer Takeaways:
1. Massive Addressable Market: Millions of Americans in rural and suburban areas lack access to affordable, reliable internet. Home Internet Lite opens doors to customers you couldn't serve before, creating entirely new revenue streams.
2. Easy Bundling Opportunity: Every Verizon mobile activation is now an opportunity to add $25/month home internet. Bundled customers have higher lifetime value, lower churn, and generate recurring commission income.
3. Competitive Pricing Advantage: At $25/month, Home Internet Lite undercuts satellite providers by $40+ per month, making it an easy sell to price-sensitive customers. The 3-year price lock provides stability and trust.
4. Low Barrier to Entry: No contract, free router, simple self-setup, and month-to-month flexibility make Home Internet Lite easy to sell and low-risk for customers to try.
5. Recurring Revenue Stream: Activation commissions plus monthly residuals create passive income that grows as your Home Internet Lite customer base expands. Selling 20 activations per month can generate $14,000-19,000 annually.
6. Differentiation from Competitors: Most cell phone stores aren't actively promoting home internet. By positioning yourself as a one-stop shop for mobile and home connectivity, you differentiate from competitors and capture more wallet share.
Immediate Action Steps:
Train Your Team: Ensure every staff member understands Home Internet Lite details, benefits, and sales approach
