Verizon is reportedly increasing the cost of its 5G Home Plus plan for new customers by reducing discounts and adding "free perks". Price hikes are common, with companies and services like Verizon and YouTube TV gradually increasing rates over the years.

Phone companies often use discounts to get people to sign up. By changing these discounts, they can effectively change how much you pay without saying they raised the price. Verizon ’s move with the 5G Home Plus plan is like that. They're changing the deal, not the main price.

Verizon appears to have quietly adjusted its discount for 5G Home Plus plans. The change makes the plan more expensive for new customers.
