Home Internet

Verizon Fios Military & Veteran Discount

Fios home internet has its own ID.me-gated military discount — separate from the mobile discount — with the $99 setup fee waived when you order online.

Verizon Fios home internet has its own military discount — and it is separate from Verizon’s better-known mobile military discount. Eligible active-duty members, retirees, veterans, current or former Guard/Reserve, and Gold Star family members can register through ID.me and get a monthly discount on an eligible Fios plan (300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gig, or 2 Gig), plus the $99 professional setup fee waived when you order online.

One thing to know up front: your Verizon mobile military discount does not automatically apply to your Fios bill — they are two different programs, each with its own ID.me registration. And on Verizon’s own military page, the Fios "military" prices currently match the standard Auto Pay + Mobile + Home bundle prices, so Verizon does not publish a separate military-only dollar figure. The concrete, military-specific wins are the waived $99 setup fee and a $5/mo discount on Fios Digital Voice or Home Device Advisor. The biggest recurring savings come from bundling a Verizon mobile line (Mobile + Home Discount).

This is an independent guide — we are not affiliated with Verizon, and prices and terms change. Confirm the exact price you see after ID.me verification before you order.

HOW TO REDEEM

Online at www.verizon.com

Confirm you are on an eligible Fios plan
Eligible plans are 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gig, and 2 Gig. If you are an existing customer, change plans in My Verizon if needed; if you are new, confirm Fios is available at your address.
Check eligibility on Verizon’s military page
Go to Verizon’s military discount page and choose “Check eligibility.”
Verify your military status with ID.me
Verify through ID.me, a third-party digital identity network. ID.me may ask you to upload a document validating your service; it works in all major browsers except Internet Explorer.
Choose your customer path and apply
Existing customers choose “Already with Verizon” and follow the prompts to apply the discount. New customers pick an eligible plan, choose “New to Verizon,” and complete the order online to get the $99 setup fee waived.
Wait for the discount to appear
The discount shows on your Fios bill in 1–2 billing cycles. It lasts as long as you keep a qualifying plan and verified status — no annual renewal, though Verizon may occasionally re-verify.

HOW IT WORKS

Verizon verifies eligibility through ID.me, a third-party digital identity network also used by the VA, the IRS, and many major retailers. During registration ID.me may ask you to upload a document validating your service, and it works in all major browsers except Internet Explorer. Importantly, your Fios ID.me verification and your mobile ID.me verification are registered separately — verifying for one does not apply the other.

The Fios military discount lasts as long as you keep a qualifying home internet plan and verified military status; there is no annual renewal, though Verizon may occasionally re-verify. You can hold only one "serve" discount per account (military, first responder, nurse, or teacher), and it cannot be combined with Deals at Work — but it does stack with Auto Pay + paper-free billing and with the Mobile + Home Discount.

A word on the actual dollars: Verizon confirms a Fios military discount exists but does not post a distinct military-only figure. On its /military/ page, the Fios "military" prices ($44.99 / $64.99 / $74.99 / $94.99 for 300 Mbps / 500 Mbps / 1 Gig / 2 Gig) mirror the standard Auto Pay + Mobile + Home bundle prices anyone who bundles can get, versus standard promo prices of $49.99 / $74.99 / $89.99 / $109.99. Third-party coupon sites that claim "10–17% off" or "$5–$15/mo" are restating that bundle discount, not a military-only cut. The clearly military-specific wins are the waived $99 setup fee (online) and the $5/mo Digital Voice / Home Device Advisor add-on — so verify the true monthly delta live at checkout after ID.me.

Exclusions & fine print

The Verizon mobile military discount ($10/$25/$20 per account, or 15% off older plans) applies to mobile plans only and does NOT reduce your Fios bill — it is a separate program with a separate ID.me registration.
Only one "serve" discount per account (military, first responder, nurse, or teacher); these cannot be combined, and the military discount cannot combine with Deals at Work.
The $99 professional setup fee is waived only for qualifying orders completed online; it may otherwise apply.
Verizon does not separately post an exact monthly Fios military dollar or percent figure — the price shown after ID.me may match the standard Auto Pay / bundle promo, so confirm at checkout.
Fios is address-gated to key metro areas of nine states plus Washington DC.
The Mobile + Home savings ($5–$15/mo) require a Verizon mobile line plus Auto Pay — that is a bundle discount, not a military-only cut.

Is the Fios military discount the same as the Verizon mobile military discount?

No. They are two separate programs with separate ID.me registrations. Verifying for the mobile discount does not apply a discount to your Fios bill, and vice versa.

All qualify: US active duty, retirees, veterans, current or former Guard or Reserve, and Gold Star family members.

Can I stack the Fios military discount with other discounts?

It stacks with Auto Pay + paper-free billing and the Mobile + Home Discount. It does not combine with Deals at Work, and you can only have one "serve" discount (military, first responder, nurse, or teacher) per account.
