Verizon has launched an internet service plan that could cost you as little as $25 per month for three years, potentially saving you more than $1,200 in the process. The carrier says its Home Internet Lite plan is "aimed at helping connect customers with limited connectivity options or those on the hunt for a low-cost option."
Verizon's standard internet plan costs $60 per month, but you can cut that price by more than half if you do three simple things:
Bundle it with a phone plan (cuts $15 off the bill). Enable AutoPay (saves $10). Sign up before Dec. 31 (saves $10 more when bundled with a phone plan).
That will lock in your $25 monthly price for three years.
Locating local internet providers
Some customers can also get Home Internet Lite for as low as $20 per month with their Verizon Forward program. People who participate in certain Federal Assistance programs, such as SNAP, might qualify for this discount.

Verizon said the plan is best suited for people who have to rely on DSL or satellite for internet and who only have light internet use, such as "browsing, sending emails and streaming shows." Home Internet Lite is provided via the company's cellular network.
