Absolutely. If you want to ditch your traditional TV cable bundle and TV service but keep home internet access and Wi-Fi, Verizon Fios offers a number of internet-only plans with a wide variety of speeds to choose from. You can set up access to wireless internet service around your home with Verizon Wi-Fi routers and extenders. If you're eligible for Fios, you can add the Fios Quantum Gateway to enable your devices to run at their maximum Wi-Fi speed. Whether you need a single 100 Mbps plan for stand-alone internet or want Fios Gigabit Connection so everyone in your family can surf, stream and game at once, Verizon lets you cut the cable cord and enjoy affordable high-speed internet and Wi-Fi at home. Plus, because it’s a 100% fiber-optic network, Fios delivers more reliable service that’s less susceptible to inclement weather and easier to maintain.

While Wi-Fi and wireless internet are often referred to interchangeably, there is a difference. Both enable wireless connectivity to the internet via radio waves. But wireless LANs refer to any local area network that a mobile user can connect to through a wireless connection, while Wi-Fi is a specific type of LAN that uses specifications in the 802.11 protocol family.

As rapid advances in wireless technology continue to revolutionize the way people connect and communicate, Verizon remains the industry leader in building next-generation networks. In October 2018, we introduced 5G Home –the first 5G-powered home internet—in certain areas of Houston, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Indianapolis, with plans to expand in other areas in 2019 and beyond. 5G represents a massive upscale of network technology. It will provide data transfer rates many times faster than a blink of an eye, high bandwidth and greater opportunities for connectivity and reliability. As the fifth generation of wireless technology, it is expected to become a game-changer for cloud gaming, augmented and virtual reality applications, robotics, and other high-bandwidth activities.
