Verizon to Launch HomeFusion May 3, LTE for Your Home Starting at $60 a Month

Tomorrow, Verizon is to launch their new HomeFusion broadband service in the US. After a $200 installation fee, customers can experience 4G LTE power right in their living room at 10GB for $60 a month or $90 for 20GB. So, Big Red comes to install a “cylinder-shaped antenna” to your house, then once installed, you can have up to twenty devices connected to the router at once. The service is geared towards folks who do not have major providers in their area such as Comcast and Time Warner who provide these services at a subsidized price. 

HomeFusion Broadband uses a professionally installed, cylinder-shaped antenna attached to a customer’s home. The antenna’s innovative design includes multiple internal antennae, allowing the device to pick up the best Verizon 4G LTE signal available and transmit it to a broadband router inside the home. The router can connect up to four wired and at least 20 wireless devices inside the home using Wi-Fi.

In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon 4G LTE customers, including HomeFusion Broadband customers, should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

While those prices seem a bit high for just 5 to 12 Mbps, not to mention the data caps, this may be some people’s only option if they live in more rural areas where major provider’s support is unseen.
