Verizon Fios transfer fee

At this time, Verizon does not charge a fee to transfer your services from one address to the next. However, you experience moving charges in the form of installation fees if you’re unable to self-install.

Verizon Fios professional installation

Professional installation by a Verizon Fios technician will cost a one-time fee of $99 and will only be necessary if fiber-optic wiring is not already set up at your new residence.

You’ll be able to self-install your Verizon Fios services at your new address if the home has already been wired to accommodate a fiber-optic network.

If you’d rather leave it to a professional, you can arrange for a technician to come out at your earliest convenience.
