T-Mobile launches high-speed home internet service – see if you can get it

If you’re looking to change internet providers, there’s a new option available.

T-Mobile announced today that it’s launching its fiber home internet service on June 5. The initial rollout will be available to 500,000 customers, but the company said it plans to reach 12 to 15 million households over the next five years.

The company’s fiber internet plans include a Wi-Fi 6 router, unlimited data, and a guarantee that the internet price will stay the same for five years.

Four different plans are available:

Fiber 500: T-Mobile’s basic fiber 500 Mbps plan is “a reliable option for everyday streamers, remote workers, and smaller households,” according to the company. It includes equipment and has no data caps or annual contract. It’s $60 a month if you’re on autopay and have a T-Mobile voice line or $75 a month if you’re on autopay and don’t have a voice line.

Fiber 1 Gig: The 1 Gbps plan is designed “for busy households with multiple people streaming, gaming, and using smart devices at the same time.” It comes with everything included in the Fiber 500 plan, but doubles the speed and adds mesh devices to help extend the Wi-Fi signal throughout your whole home. It’s available for $75 a month with autopay and a T-Mobile voice line or $90 a month with autopay and no voice line.

Fiber 2 Gig: This fastest plan provides “top-tier speed for high-demand users, smart homes, creators, and tech lovers who push their connection to the max.” It comes with everything included in the Fiber 1 Gig plan, but doubles the speed to 2 Gbps. It’s available for $90 a month with autopay and a T-Mobile voice line or $105 a month with autopay and no voice line.

Fiber Founders Club: This plan has the same speed as the Fiber 2 Gig plan, but it lets you “future proof” your connectivity with a 10-year price guarantee of $70 a month with autopay — no voice line required. T-Mobile says this plan is available in “select locations” for a limited time.
