September 28, 2024 I don't have to strive for negotiations in terms of pricing like my previous internet provider.

Verizon Fixed Wireless
March 10, 2023 I think Verizon has very good internet speed. They also have good deals on their phone. One thing I do not like about it are the prices you pay for it. We pay a lot of money for our families service and it is a lot compared to some other companies. It is something to think about when the bills get too high.
