"Tracfone Home Internet will be exclusively offered at Target stores and on the Target.com website. It will use Verizon's 5G network and offer a three-year $60 per month price guarantee with "auto-refill," a router for $69.99 via Target and Target.com, what the company describes as "easy self-setup" with 24/7 customer service, and no contracts, hidden fees or credit checks. Tracfone is a registered trademark of Verizon Value Inc., which is a Verizon company."
"The Tracfone website offers an extensive Q&A on the new service. It says that Tracfone Home Internet will deliver download speeds of 20 Mbps to 200 Mbps and upload of 3 Mbps to 15 Mbps. The Q&A says that customers in 4G LTE coverage zones can expect download speeds of 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps."
"Before the release of this internet offering, Tracfone has had several issues with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in recent years: In July, 2024 the FCC announced a settlement with the company to resolve investigations into whether it failed to reasonably protect its customers' information from unauthorized access in connection with three data breaches. The agreement carried a civil penalty of $16 million."
