Faster Than Fast
Verizon’s Fiber Optic & 5G Home Internet Deliver the Digital Goods “PDQ”
When it comes to home internet, there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all solution. Verizon offers both 5G home internet and fiber optic internet, giving households more flexibility than ever before.
Verizon’s 5G, 5G Ultra Wideband, and 4G LTE networks now reach most of the country and deliver solid performance for everyday online life – streaming, gaming, shopping, working, and learning.
In areas where it’s available, fiber optic internet adds another option for people who want even faster speeds, ultra‑low latency, and long‑term performance built for the future.
Fiber: What It Is & How It Works
Fiber optic internet – often just called fiber – uses pulses of light to transmit data through ultra‑thin strands of glass or plastic. Instead of electrical signals, information travels at the speed of light, resulting in exceptional speed and efficiency.
Verizon Fios and Frontier Fiber deliver fiber directly to the home, literally connecting a physical address to the network. Once a fiber connection is in place, it’s designed to support consistent performance, high bandwidth, and modern digital demands.
Why You Want/Need It
Fiber is built for households that use the internet heavily and often – especially when multiple devices are online at the same time. Fiber offers some of the fastest residential internet speeds available today.
Key Fiber Benefits
- Ultra‑fast speeds, with plans reaching up to 10 Gbps
- Symmetrical upload and download speeds, great for video calls, cloud backups, and content creation
- Low latency and stable performance, even during busy times
This makes fiber a strong choice for streaming in 4K, competitive gaming, working from home, online learning, and smart‑home technology.
Where It Is (Already) and Isn’t (Yet)
Fiber optic internet availability depends entirely on location. It can change from one street – or even one house – to the next, so checking your specific address is essential. Verizon Fios and Frontier Fiber already reach millions of American homes in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and South, with expansion occurring remarkably fast in other areas as well.
Can You Get It? Check Fiber Availability –
The easiest way to see what’s available at your home or business is to use the Verizon Service Locator. It shows exactly which internet services you can order today and allows you to sign up for notifications if fiber is coming soon.
To get started:
- Visit the Verizon Service Locator (link above) and prompts will lead the way, or
- Visit a store for the right answers, connections, and one-on-one help, or
- Call Russell Cellular at 1-888-271-3677 for scheduling delivery, billing, and answering questions.
- You can also see the Frontier Fiber coverage map and connect with a store in your area.
Waiting is the Hardest Part
If Verizon Fios or Frontier Fiber isn’t available at your address yet, don’t worry – expansion is ongoing. Rolling out fiber nationwide takes time, and new neighborhoods are added every year. When fiber does arrive, you’ll have access to one of the fastest and most capable home internet technologies available.
