Being forced to spend more time indoors means that we’ve all been spending a lot more time online; it’s estimated that internet use has increased by 70% as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. And with adult family members taking video calls as they work from home and kids either in virtual classrooms, playing games online, or streaming videos simultaneously, your internet service has no doubt been pushed to its limits — or past them. If you’ve experienced lags or lost connections as a result, then perhaps you’ve been thinking about upgrading. With Verizon offering incentives for signing up for its 100% fiber-optic FiOS internet service, now is a great time to switch to the fastest internet in America.

One of our favorite internet service providers, Verizon FiOS offers download speeds of up to 940 Mbps and upload speeds that nearly match. Plus, you can build your own customized internet, TV, and phone bundle so that you aren’t paying for stuff you don’t want or need. And right now, depending on the plan you choose, you’ll get 3 to 12 months of Discovery+, Verizon’s real-life entertainment package that includes Animal Planet, the Food Network, and the Learning Channel, for free.

Right now, you’ll get a $100 Verizon gift card when you sign up by March 17, as well as 12 months of ad-free Discovery+ (an $84 value) for free.
