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.

    My home 5g internet is running at 12 Mbps. I pay $50 per month. T-Mobile unable to fix it, and tells me I don't qualify for upgrade at promotion prices. This is a simply a ripoff. I am so tired of the empty excuses.

    It started out great. I was averaging 65 Mbps most of the time. When there wasn't any congestion my speed went as high as 180 Mbps. So much better than my previous internet provider which topped out at 15 Mbps and had weekly widespread outages. After 6 or 7 months my top average speed kept getting slower and slower. I contacted customer service several times. Each time I was given a different excuse. They would have me unplug the gateway which I had already tried.

    They would tell me they would reset something on their end. Then tell me it could take 24 hours to take effect. That helped a few times. They had me swap out the gateway. That worked for a while. They sent me a mesh unit. The lady told me it would increase the signal from the tower. It didn't because it is actually just an extender that doesn't receive a signal from the tower. I was told on several occasions that the engineers were in the process of making upgrades to my tower to improve the signal in the area.

    One lady told me the reason my speed is slow was because the tower had a weak signal because the generator was out of gas. The last time I called the lady I spoke to said she wanted to help but I expressed my doubts. She had me try a few of the usual things. She said she would get with the engineers and submit a ticket to see what was going on. She said she would call me back after she investigated. I again expressed my doubts. She set up a day and time she would call. It came and went with no call.

    I did get a call later from someone else that she passed it off to. He gave me the usual run around. Finally, after some back and forth, he basically told me I was out of luck. He said the signal from the tower has degraded and despite what I had been told before the engineers had no plans to upgrade the tower. He said while they don't want to lose me as a customer I'd be better off going somewhere else. Where I live my only other option is my old provider which is just as unreliable and a lot more expensive so I'm stuck for the moment.

      I am not at all satisfied with the slow speed of T Mobile internet. I have two devices and both are slow as molasses. I wish I had known this before I got into this contract. I WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO IT.

      I am writing to formally express my frustration with T-Mobile’s cancellation and billing practices. After being a loyal customer for many years—dating back to before the Sprint merger—I’ve become increasingly disappointed with the direction of the company. What was once excellent customer service has now become an exhausting and unreasonable experience. Recently, I attempted to cancel my service and followed the process of returning my equipment to a T-Mobile store. However, I was informed that the store was unable to process cancellations and that I would need to contact customer service. This is both inconvenient and unnecessary. If a customer is in-store and returning equipment, the service should be able to be canceled at that point without additional steps.

      To make matters worse, I am now being charged $50 for what was allegedly a $0.03 balance. Once service is transferred to another provider, billing should cease immediately. Continuing to charge customers for nonexistent service is unacceptable. T-Mobile’s current model appears to be closely aligned with Sprint’s former practices, which were widely known for their poor customer service. It’s disheartening to see the company I once respected follow this path. These practices need to be investigated. At this point, I strongly advise others to avoid doing business with T-Mobile.

      I had purchased T-Mobile home internet and for the first several months everything was fine. I had auto-pay set up for my account so I shouldn't have to deal with anything on my end. However, there was one month where I received an email stating they had not been paid yet. I called customer service, they waived the $10 service fee (which is bullshit to begin with) and said everything was handled.

      Then one month later I saw I was being charged an extra $10. I called and filled them in on the situation, and that I had lost a decent amount of my own personal time due their mistake, when I was told they will do nothing to help and that I just have to deal with it. The amount of billing and customer service problems with T-Mobile is gargantuan, and the so called "price-lock" does nothing to alleviate those issues. In addition, I'm aware that quite a few companies outsource their customer service lines, and if I can get the help I require that is perfectly fine. But someone with a thick accent telling me their name is Grace? I know the majority of our species is more than just pretty dumb, but not all of us. Please don't insult my intelligence.

      This internet is great if you don't enjoy using the internet, playing online games, or just having internet in general! It goes out so frequently and in the middle of the day too, a single cloud can drop your connection down.

      I've had a ticket opened up with T-Mobile for our home internet issues since February 26th of 2025. This is been the biggest joke and excuse for home internet that I've ever had to deal with. Believe it or not, the support team is even worse. I have countless screenshots and log files showing how horrible their internet actually is. The gateway that they provide is a joke, it continually hops from one tower to another consistently every single day and has done so every single day since we've had the internet for almost a year now.

      I have spoken to numerous supervisors that are even more ignorant on the situation than this frontline support team and don't even get me started on tier 3 network operation support they are a complete joke and every single one of them that I have spoke to has no business being in the field that they are in. Literally no one is qualified that I've spoken to in the past year which is easily over a hundred different people. Tier 3 support is a complete joke and are just as ignorant on the services they sell as the Frontline people that answer the phones. The network is so oversold and congested that they could care less and it's exactly why, if you go and look at your internet package, it gives the most ridiculous minimum to maximum that you can get on their services.

      One word: useless! They sign up so many people that the demand by far outweighs the capacity, i.e., you get downloads at less than 1 Mbps and uploads are basically dead in the water (<0.05 Mbps). You may get decent speeds at off-hours (like 3 a.m.), but when it counts, they break down. Too bad, but I'll kick that box out the door as soon as the fiberoptic cable in my street is functional. I hope that's the case in a matter of a few weeks. What a waste of money T-Mobile Home Internet is, and the frustration is through the roof! Don't get it!!

      The worst internet and customer service I've had in my life. We didn't have an internet connection for 11 days. Nobody ever bothered notifying us of what was happening and every time we called they said they were "working on it" and it had to do with "vandalism" to one of their towers, but they wouldn't give us a timeline of when was it going to start working. I switched to Xfinity, who were wonderful, and when I canceled T-Mobile, they continued to bill me even though they had said they would refund us for the 11 days without service. I'm still receiving bills (threatening to send us to collection!) and disputing charges to our credit card. I've called a few times to tell them I CANCELED MY ACCOUNT due to their incompetence nearly two months ago, and they keep promising a refund that never comes. Instead, I get more bills. They're disorganized and have idiots in their "customer care" team. STAY AWAY!
