Visible now goes further than a discount. Visible One, launched in August 2026, puts a phone line and 300/300 Mbps fiber on one $55/mo bill, taxes included, or $75/mo for Visible+ Pro and 1 Gig fiber. It's only for homes with an inactive Fios fiber box that aren't already on Fios. See our Visible review.

Before you bundle
- Compare the bundle against the best standalone phone plan you'd otherwise use; prepaid phone plans can cost less than the discount saves.
- Check what happens to the internet price if you cancel the phone line.
- Ask whether the discount stacks with AutoPay and price locks.
