T-Mobile 5G Home Internet uses signals from nearby 5G base stations, rather than physical cables or fiber, to provide an Internet connection to your home. If you live in an area where your local Internet service provider has limited cable network buildout, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is a great alternative to cable or fiber. Plus, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet doesn’t require a long-term contract, has simple equipment, and is fast enough for light to moderate use. We like its unlimited data and variety of pricing plans, but if you’re a heavy gamer or regularly watch a lot of HD video, a cable provider (if you have network) may be a better choice. Availability, Plans, and RatesT-Mobile 5G Home Internet isn’t available in all areas, but it has nationwide coverage with more than 6 million subscribers, according to the company’s most recent earnings report. Just enter your street address on the T-Mobile website to see if the service is available in the area you need.
Generally, it’s available in many of the markets where T-Mobile offers 5G service. T-Mobile’s most expensive All-In Home plan costs $75 per month ($70 with autopay and $55 with voice) and offers some nice perks. The plan includes the same 5G gateway and speeds as the Amplified plan, plus an additional Mesh Wi-Fi access point to help with coverage. AT&T and Verizon both offer 5G home internet service, and while coverage isn’t as extensive as T-Mobile’s, their plans and pricing are similar. Verizon ranks second with 4.2 million home internet subscribers. Like T-Mobile, you’ll need to enter your address on the Verizon website to see if the service is available in your area.
Verizon generally doesn’t offer5G home internet service in areas where it offers wired Fios service. Its plans include a modem and router combo, unlimited data, and a two-year price lock guarantee. If you live in an area without wired or wireless coverage, Starlink may be your only option. Starlink relies on satellites and covers most of the U.S., but costs more and offers lower quality service.
