Verizon 5G Home Internet Huge Price Increase!

Hey, this is Brian from DisableMyCable.com

There's been a lot of huge announcements coming from Verizon lately. A couple of days ago, we heard about the new Verizon 5G gateway

that I talked about in my last video. Just yesterday, Verizon announced a huge

what amounts to a price increase or a speed decrease, depending on how you look at it

Now, before everyone starts panicking, this applies to new customers only. A lot of people who signed up had a two-year price guarantee

When I signed up, they said it was going to be 10 years. Not sure if they're going to honor that

but that's what it said when I signed up. So we'll see what happens. But if you go on the

Verizon website today, and I'll show it here, you can see the new pricing table for the new plan

So there's two plans, just like there was before, the 5G Home and the 5G Home Plus

Now, these tables are very unclear as to exactly what speeds you get and what price you're actually going to pay

So I'm going to break it down for you. So let's look at the 5G Home first, the cheaper one

It says 1080p HD video streaming, whereas the Home Plus says Ultra HD 4K video streaming

So that gives you a little bit of a hint at the speed but it doesn really tell you exactly what it is So I gonna to go over that Now the pricing is equally vague It says you know 35 versus 45 but 60 without discounts and

80 without discounts. So let's dive in. So if you actually click on more plan information

in the fine print below, you can get the details on that. It's still a little bit vague

So I'm going to actually go to a different pricing table that I can get as a user of Verizon 5G Home

If you are an existing user, log into your account and sort of act like you're going to change plans

and it will show you a better comparison of the plans. And that's what is on the screen right now

So this is a little bit more clear. So let's talk about the speeds first

5G home up to 100 megabits per second download, typical 50 to 85. So that is a huge decrease from

what they're offering for $50 a month now. The plan I have, which is that plan

gives 300 megabits per second download, and typically I see 200 to 270, 280 download speeds

So that's a huge speed decrease. And the pricing let look at that It similar to their current entry plan So what it is is a month regular If you use auto pay it a month You get a discount And if you have a qualifying

Verizon wireless plan, it goes down to $35 a month if you do that and the auto pay

So for me, I was paying $50 before with the auto pay

It would be $50 with this plan, but the speed would be vastly decreased

Let's say if I want the same speed, I'm getting now the 300

I would have to go to the 5G Home Plus plan. And that one does offer the 300 megabits per second download

typical speeds, 85 to 250, which is what I'm seeing. But that one is $70 a month with the AutoPay plan, $80 without, or $45 with AutoPay and a qualifying Verizon wireless plan

And yeah, just know not all the Verizon plans offer that discount, but it could be as low as $45 if you have the right one

But, so going to get the same speed, I would have to go from $50 a month to $70 a month, which is a huge increase

And my cable was $80 a month. So it like approaching the cost of cable which for a lot of people may be not worth switching So it like so many things in the streaming and internet world they start out with low prices and then they jack them

up. Now again, if you're an existing customer, you probably don't have to worry about this for

at least two years. And I'm pretty glad I got in when I did because I'm saving $20 a month over

this. So let's talk about the new Verizon Gateway that was announced a couple days ago. To my

surprise, some people have been actually able to order those new gateways. No one has received it

yet as far as I know, but they're on the way. So I'll keep you guys informed as to what happens when

they arrive and what people think. I'm kind of nervous. I don't even want to ask for the new

gateway because I'm scared they'll also bump up my plan and change it to one of these worst plans

that are out now. So I'm going to kind of just wait and see what happens with the pricing and

whether the gateway really is better. We'll see. And I'll do another video when I get that

information for you. So that's it. The latest news on the new gateway and on the new Verizon pricing
