Internet FAQ · Availability

Is Verizon Fios available in my area?

Verizon Fios is available only where Verizon has built fiber, mostly in the Mid-Atlantic and New England, where Verizon says the network reaches more than 15 million homes and businesses.[1] The quickest answer comes from typing your street address into Verizon's availability check or the FCC National Broadband Map.[1][2] Elsewhere, Verizon sells 5G Home instead of Fios.[3]

Three ways to check, from fastest to most thorough:

  • Verizon's own address check on the Fios page. It shows the Fios tiers sold at your address, up to five of them.[3]
  • The FCC National Broadband Map. Search the address and look for Verizon under fiber in the provider list; the map also lets you dispute a wrong listing.[2]
  • A call to compare every provider at the address, including cable and fiber rivals.

Frontier is now part of Verizon. Verizon says the combined fiber network passes almost 30 million locations across 31 states and Washington, D.C., and it sends shoppers in former Frontier areas to frontier.com to check eligibility.[1] So a "no" for Fios can still mean Verizon-owned fiber under the Frontier name.

If Fios is there, plans run from 300 Mbps to 5 Gig.[1] As of October 28, 2026, the Fios page lists 300 Mbps at $40.00 a month and 1 Gig at $90.00 a month, with the router included and a $99 setup charge that may apply.[1]

Start with our ZIP code internet availability checker to see which providers the FCC lists near you, then call to confirm Fios at your exact address. If your address gets 5G Home rather than Fios, read Verizon 5G Home vs Fios before you decide.
