What Is T-Mobile Home Internet?

T-Mobile offers 5G, high-speed home internet for $50 to $55 per month. The monthly price is locked in, which means that there are no rising bills or surprise fees. You don’t have to be a T-Mobile cell phone customer to buy internet services, but if you are a current customer, your internet price may be cheaper if bundled with phone lines.

T-Mobile will pay applicable termination fees to your current provider if you switch to its home internet plan. There is no annual contract with T-Mobile home internet, so you can cancel at any time. There are also no data caps. 5G internet isn’t available everywhere, but there may be a 4G option if it isn’t offered for your residence.

How does T-Mobile Home Internet work?

If you’re interested in T-Mobile home internet, you’ll need to ensure it's available at your address first. You can do this online or by phone. Once you’ve confirmed T-Mobile services your area, you can order the 5G gateway device, which is what the internet works through. The gateway converts the 5G T-Mobile signal into wireless internet that your devices can use.

Once your gateway device arrives, it can be self-installed by simply plugging it in and turning it on. Then you can control the wireless system through the T-Mobile Internet app. There are no data caps or contracts, so you can cancel at any time. If you move, you need to confirm with T-Mobile that it offers 5G internet at your new address. There is a 15-day, money back guarantee.

T-Mobile Home Internet prices

T-Mobile home internet is $50 per month when you’re enrolled in automatic bank draft pay. This includes all taxes and fees. The price is locked in, meaning no rising monthly costs. If you are a current T-Mobile phone customer, you may be able to bundle your phone and internet service for a lower price. Home internet packages are month-to-month and can be canceled at any time.

    Customers don’t try the trials of internet service because they will charge you before the trial ends. I’m very unhappy about the situation. Now I have to wait until June to receive my refund back, very frustrating. Thank you.

    I only called to change my address for my Internet. Was told about a promotion for a razor Plus. Sounded pretty good. At first everything was fine and then my bill started going up more and more each month and I even took my insurance off and the bill is still extremely high. I will never refer anybody to T-Mobile, just for the home internet. That's the only good thing I've gotten out of T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile internet, had them for 3 months and noticed that my bill kept going up. Even after paying them I was getting charged 8.60 extra month because they where saying I was late even after canceling internet. I ended up for one month paying over 300 dollars they said I didn't pay even though I know I did. Still charged me even after canceling. Beware and watch your bill. They have gotten little to big and feel they can charge whatever over 50 dollars they want.

      The team member who addressed my call today was the first in a series of many (MANY!!!) calls who told me the TRUTH about our very poor service. She informed me that our area is now shown to have no internet coverage. When we first switched to T-Mobile for home internet, we were shown to be in a coverage area. Our service was fantastic for about 11 months. Since then, our service has gotten progressively worse. And now I learn that our area is “no longer a coverage area." WHAT??? Yet T-Mobile continues to take our money every month for service that is generally less than 10 Mbps and was 2.5 Mbps download speed this morning (!!!). Bait and switch? This should be a crime!

      We live in the country, about 3 miles from our small town. We had to drive twenty miles to sign up for T-Mobile. Before leaving we called the store and was told that our area was covered and would get close to 100mbs. Now the problems began, first they wanted my social security number, which I complained about, and was told no SS# no internet!. The next problem was they wanted a email address, we didn't have one because we didn't have internet at our location. We finally called our daughter who lives a 100 mile away to use her email. The email was needed to get a security number that T-Mobile needed.

      Next because we called our daughter they said that they had to use her phone number, which is used as part of the billing process along with her email address. Because of this problem our bill now goes to her. Which we are now working on to get straighten out. So we have the new site Gateway that we had to put at the other end of our house, which is too far away to connect to our smart TV. Sometimes we get 20mbs download, and maybe 1.5 uploaded. At other times, we may get 2- 3 mbs, you never know!

      Please don't get T-mobile internet. It is terrible. I have to call every single night to address problems and I have there too of the line unit with the mesh point. It worked for a few weeks and now I have to have them reboot it every day and I live under the cell phone tower. They sell a awful product that will give you headaches and leave you angry. I now feel unsafe as my security system is not working when Internet is down and this is an everyday occurrence.

      Reviewed Oct. 6, 2024

      I have had T-Mobile Home Internet for seven months. Initially, it performed as advertised and the installation was very simple. Then the University nearby returned from summer break and everything changed. The signal strength between my house and the T-Mobile towers has remained excellent (4 bars) but the tower congestion between 4:00 pm and 10:00 pm is horrendous! Streaming stops and downloading software updates crawls. Hours spent on the phone with tech support has been futile.

      They continue to say a new tower is being built and if I merely remain as a customer its completion will solve all the problems. Of course, no completion date is offered nor any evidence that a tower is actually under construction. My last communication with tech support was laughable. When I pressed when the “new” tower would be completed she actually said (and I am not making this up) their engineers were so talented they could build a new tower “remotely” and when I returned from a ten-day trip I was taking all the problems would be solved. Well, I am back and nothing has changed. Obviously, she was just blowing smoke at me to keep me as a customer.

      Horrible, this is 2024 and you can't get home internet in some areas, absolutely terrible. You can get better service in 3rd world companies than you can get with T-Mobile, this company should be ashamed of itself. Terrible terrible.

      TMobile Home internet service is simply Horrific. The last time I experienced internet this awful was when internet first became a thing. The Buffering, Freezing and weak to no signal when it rains MEANS JUST GIVE UP. There is no savings when you are paying for frustration. No matter how many times I contacted TMobile to complain about these issues, none of their fixes, or suggestions were a remedy. I ended up tolerating this bad service for six months, at which point I could adequately afford to change providers. The worst part is; I cancelled my service on 9/02/24 and was told I would still be billed for the whole month of September because my bill closing date was 25 days away. Then I was told that I would also be responsible for a final bill in October. TMobile should have been paying me for all the times I called for support, because the service was randomly available and at a level where it was useful to all members of the family.

      In December 2023 I responded to an offer from T-Mobile to try their Internet for free for two weeks. It was unsatisfactory and I immediately returned it in June 2024. I contacted T-Mobile to purchase a new phone and learned that someone from their company had fraudulently opened a phone line and Internet service in my name and they had been charging me for it. They agreed I was entitled to the new customer promotion they were running and advised they would credit back the $770 I had been charged. This never happened. After literally four weeks of arguing, I finally got a refund of $330. You never talk to the same representative so it’s very challenging to get them to understand. This review does not apply to Noah. I don’t have his last name because that’s how T-Mobile operates, but Noah was the only person at that company who was able to provide any help and relief.
