Verizon Fixed Wireless Adds Continue to Slow

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2025 – Verizon added 261,000 fixed wireless subscribers in the third quarter, fewer than Wall Street expected and down more than 28 percent from the same time last year. 

The wireless carrier now counts nearly 5.4 million fixed wireless subscribers, compared to nearly 8 million at T-Mobile and nearly 1.3 million at AT&T. The pace of Verizon’s growth has slowed this year, though, while the other two carriers continue to post record additions and outpace expectations.

Of the total additions, 121,000 were residential customers. That’s the lowest since early 2022, shortly after the service was launched, MoffettNathanson founder Craig Moffett noted in an investor report.
