Verizon Wireless today reported its second-quarter earnings for 2024. With that, they reported total revenue of 35.1 billion, a 0.3% decrease from the second quarter of 2022.
Verizon added over 378,000 5G wireless home internet customers during the second quarter of 2024.

This pushes Verizon to 3.8 million 5G Home Internet customers, a 69% increase year on year. Revenue from 5G Home Internet increased to $514 million, more than $200 million year on year.
This comes as Verizon’s TV customer base fell to 2.818 million at the end of the quarter, down 8.8% from the previous year. Verizon also increased Fios Fiber Internet users by 2.8% year on year to more than 7 million.
