As a Verizon customer, you may be surprised to learn there are a handful of free and discounted streaming deals included with your home internet and mobile subscription. I was certainly surprised. I am a subscriber to Verizon's 5G home internet service, and I was happy to learn of these perks that slash prices on streaming memberships, giving price-conscious consumers a little peace of mind when it comes to saving dollars.
The number of TV shows and movies available on streaming services can be quite overwhelming. That is especially true if you have subscriptions to multiple streaming accounts. Services like Netflix, Disney Plus and some streaming bundles already deliver content at a good price. These Verizon deals make the savings even better.
Note that the bargains listed below are available to those with eligible mobile phone and home internet plans, unless otherwise specified. Scroll on for a list of the best free and discounted streaming perks for you.

Netflix and HBO Max bundle
Whether you are a Verizon myPlan mobile customer or a myHome internet subscriber, you can choose this streaming service perk. If you have Fios Home Internet, 5G Home Internet or an eligible mobile plan, sign up for Netflix and HBO Max (basic with ads), bundled together at $10 per month for a total monthly savings of $9. (Netflix with ads is $8 per month, and ad-based HBO Max costs $11 per month).
If you tack on this bundle, you may also opt to upgrade to one of the ad-free HBO Max plans and still get a Verizon discount. Pay an additional $7.50 per month for the Standard ad-free plan (saving you $3.50 total), or get HBO Max Premium (which comes with 4K and 100 downloads) for an extra $12 per month. These savings have automatically been applied for existing Verizon customers.
